BIG AND POWERFUL vs SMALL AND HUMAN

It wasn’t that long ago that computers were thought of as machines whose primary purpose was business. The company that was king of the technology sector for many years had “BUSINESS” as its middle name. IBM, International Business Machines. Only big powerful corporations could afford them or use them. They were all about business, right down to their strict dress code.

Apple, on the other hand, saw the computer as being about human connection and creativity. That spark that ignites something inside of us. Something that becomes a song or a report or a photo or a recipe or a relationship or new enterprise…The world is getting very corporate and that corporate world is less and less people friendly every day. The smart players realize this and make their messages with a great deal of humility. From the way it is written to the way it is narrated. It’s not cool to be big and powerful. It’s cool to be small and agile and quick and emotional and human and connected and caring. Something to keep in mind when you craft your messages either for your client or your station.
