I just saw the new Blackberry advertising campaign, "there are people who do, and people that don't". This subject makes me very touchy indeed. Having come from the kind of school that slaves drives the minds of the people that are capable of straight A*'s into going to the top universities for the peak of accademia, while the 'creative' people sit on the sidelines and clap when their told to. Not only is this stupid because the genius in the minds of the academics can be applied to creativity with enlightening results, but they can co-exist in the same person. Creativity can be applied to anything, and its that kind of creativity that scientists come up with cures for diseases, or designers people come up with inventions that save the world.
The people that 'do' in this world are not defined by what grades they get, or how much money they make each year. Anyone can 'do', regardless of... well everything. And whats more, is that the people who do 'do' dont usually own Blackberrys. The probably dont even own a phone. They are too busy out there doing. Exploring the world, seeing their friends, living life.
From my experience the people who own Blackberrys are mainly business men, working for massive companies, taking orders on the daily and following them because its their job to. Theres nothing wrong with that, because that is what they do best. Phones are made for communicating, and Blackberrys do that very well. It just annoys me how oxymoronic their advertising is. The people who 'do' are the people who do what their told. BUY A BLACKBERRY! THINK FOR YOURSELF! These two things don't go together. Neither do Blackberrys and creative people. People who do.
