Recording of culture started with messages painted on rocks and caves. Ideas behind pictures held on and on. People gathered around the place to experience the message. Years passed and visitors changed and the message transformed into something else, maybe it was lost.

Millenia passed, and the message did become easier to transport. All sort of scrolls and plates have been shattered against the tides of time, but many of them still remain. However the nature of information changed. It wasn’t about the location or ritual anymore, but about the movement. You could pass on information.

Today books are too long to be read through, stories too long to be followed. If we have information with us at all times, we never stop to consume it, we nibble and lack focus. Which message will stand the test of time, let’s say five minutes?

Kind of magic

Cigarett smoking girl It’s like smoking, dangerous, sexy and mystic. It is all about being in control and thereby being respected by others. Hey, don’t you respect the one who controls the smoke? Don’t you envy the people who hurt themselves. Smoking is a ritual of pain. If you never did it, there’s no way your face will have such an orgastic expression on your face, and you know it.

Girl in a phone lightPopular culture has cultivated this image ever since the Queen started to do it. You noticed the girl, yeah? Well, she’s having a cigarett. She might as well have a mobile phone, especially a brand mobile phone. Yes, that’s how you do it today.

Sony Ericsson is giving the power of control to the people who own a specific Sony Ericccssson (don’t you just forget how to spell it?) mobile phone. Brilliant, brilliant! I want one. But how do they do that?

Z555 has one truely, truely, truely cool, even chilly feature – you can mute the phone with a wave of your hand. Just think of the respect that you will get at any board room when that annoying little thing shuts up with a commanding wave. You really must know magic, world obeys your every whim. You will see people in Starbucks, reading a book, carelessly whisking their hand to general direction of their phone, doing everything in their power to show that they just don’t care. This phone model will sell.
