It has now reached a point where technology emulates fashion. For the masses to appreciate the new gadget, much pains are needed to be undergone to research the trendiest colors and patterns of the season. No longer does the memory capacity or the RAM govern the choosing process of the buyers, but the style and the sleekness of the product is also key. I think this is the reason why Apple products are doing so well. Similar products which do the same things that are out in the market have not taken into consideration the look and the feel of the product as much as Apple has. “The next generation” is a term that is now more loosely used for the development of products and Apple has sparked the generation after generation of gadgets, each one much sleeker and cleaner than the next.
People nowadays have the tendency to think thin. Some would even ditch 3 meals a day just to fit into their bikinis for summer. I think that not only fashion trends but also trends in technology, which has been so intertwined in our daily lives, have influenced our way of thinking. Taglines like “fat to flat” and “thin is in” is not only used by the weightloss industry but even more so now producers of LCD TV sets and computer producers. In fact, one of the come ons of the Apple iPad 2G is that it is thinner than the iPhone.
How sad is it that even your gadget is telling you to lose weight for summer?
