That part of the ad did annoy me, like a computer has been around since 1936 and for an ad that's encouraging kids to learn and grow via technology it's so unrealistic to say they don't know what a computer is. Apple LITERALLY evolved from a computer.
It's the actual thing that people use to make your internet work you F-Tard. Oh, and that POS you have in your hand, it was designed by someone using a computer. Oh, and the moon landing ,Yeah they used computers to do that. Self driving cars? Computers. ATMs to get money? Computers. Swipe,chip,tap your card for food? Computers. Arrggghhhhhh!!!
Tablets are computers. Laptops are computers. Technically calculators are computers. Phones are computers. This commercial makes me want to go out and fish. In a slew/slough where I know most of the fish have left and I can just drink beer and pretend there are some humans that actually have sense.
Whenever I see this commercial all I can think about is Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting: "I will end you, I will fucking end you" That kid really gets under my skin.
Am I the only one who assumed she was kidding?
Like, that's exactly the kind of response I would expect from a kid who knows exactly what a computer is, knows you know she knows, and is messing with you playfully because you don't get her cool new technology.
Am I alone in this?
Probably not.
But if my kid asked "Hey Dad how do you make a door?"
And I said well you have to either mill the wood into panels and join them with a frame or build a metal rectangle and add hinges."
And he responded"Nope you just put 6 oak wood planks in a 3X3 crafting grid."
I'd let him live. Because Minecraft.
If he and I were the ones in this commercial, his mom better come save him from a come to Jesus moment.
and I'm saying neither what your kid would have meant, or what the appropriate response to that should be.
The argument I was making was in fact that she totally knows what a computer is, and is being perhaps snarky about it.
Maybe she is being disrespectful, but she honestly seems to be just trying to male a joke. And either way, I'm convinced she totally knows what a computer is, and only asked to call attention to the fact that the woman asking her about it is being overly generic about what sort of technology she is using.
