Hello eavesdropper, this week our “boss” teacher Helder Gomes and we are supposed to crush our peers ideas.
First the Anonymous. They won’t be the next decade personality due to 3 main reasons: the Anonymous don’t have the guts to show their face to the world. Their brand image is stolen from a movie, and by attacking the sites and other organizations, they are promoting piracy.
Now the Facebook, as the social network of the moment, Facebook as it’s disadvantages. It promotes a sedentary lifestyle, and downgrades the physical interaction and socialization, which in extreme situations can lead to a decrease in a pollution growth.
The ray gun, if humans currently are already self-destructive and violent, even if that isn’t it’s purpose there will be people who will use it to that purpose. The witricity will be very expensive and it will take some time until someone makes it rentable and usable.
China won’t be the next decade brand, first it’s extremely difficult language which is very hard to learn prejudicing it’s expansion, their culture is as well very different from American one, and English is currently very influential and dominating.
Lady Gaga’s fashion, or Gagashion is very freaky and strange to most people, it can’t be dressed in every day use. It’s probably very expensive and dressing it and use it on the street would probably be ridiculous.
The scientific advance can have it’s disadvantages. It requires testing and experimenting, which often leads to a grey area in ethics and morality. By trying to eliminate every disease and defect from humans, they will be eliminating the human condition itself, since human aren’t perfect and illness is part of our nature.
Merkel is the German Chanceler, and that is very important, but only for Germany not the whole world, she simply isn’t that important for the decade. And especially since she may well turn out to be the next Hitler…
Solar power will be important in the future but I think it will be something common which will be very used but not revolutionary, and certainly not for the next decade.
Apple will not be the brand of the next decade. Why ? First it’s biggest booster was Steve Jobs who is currently dead ( R.I.P.). Secondly, Apple is currently in a great number of lawsuits, which makes it loose credibility . Samsung is currently overtaking Apple and drawing it’s clients towards Samsung’s products, Google is starting to overcome Apple’s sales . Finally, in my opinion, Apple’s greatest flaw is it’s ecosystem, it’s too closed, either you play by their rules, or you don’t play at all, and that is too restraining for me.
Alexander McQueen is a big name in fashion industry, but only in that theme not for everyone, and since he’s dead I think it will be hard for him to be the next decade icon.
