IBM Commercial
February 12, 2005 ( politics )
I just saw this IBM commercial on TV. Caveat: I actually like IBM, they've made impressive and positive changes, particularly remarkable for a big stodgy business corporation. Anyhow.
The commercial is this cute chinese girl asking a guy in a large white room "is this the help desk?" and then barraging him with questions about science. He asks her why she didn't learn this in school, and she responds that she lives on a farm in China, and there is no school. Of course, this is the Internet, so she can join in the existing classroom -- IBM helps teachers create virtual classrooms for everyone, etc and so on.
Sorry, IBM -- if there's not a classroom, there sure as hell ain't gonna be Internet connection that can handle any of the creappily designed virtual classroom systems (ok, maybe Moodle.
