I found Mr. Neilson's article rather difficult to comprehend. I didn't
understand what he was trying to sell and to whom. I wasn't in the
market for a new phone and was offended by how exclusionary he seemed to
be with age groups and who buys what. I have a flip phone because I
can't afford to buy a newer phone and use the phone that I have mostly
for emergencies and phone calls. This isn't because I'm technologically a
dork or a dinosaur but his article seems to infer that. His writing
style left me feeling chilled and confused.
After talking about
this in the class today, I understand more of what his purpose in
creating this site is. I can see where it would be useful for people who
have businesses that are interested in trying new marketing avenues. I
also enjoyed learning that Mr. Neilson doesn't like graphic designers.
However, I disagree with him about leaving art completely out of design
for technology. Form should follow function but art makes it palatable.
