Smart Phone For Dumb Users

Technology is an amazing paradox. It is used to simplify peoples' lives and help in the evolutionary curve of mankind but somehow, it makes the users dumber and dumber with its every "simplistic" invention. Thanks to word documents and auto corrects, we have almost forgotten spellings and wonder if professor is supposed to be with "ff" or "ss" or both.
The list could go on endlessly, but the post is not about that, it's about an ad on air that has beautifully art-directed this phenomena for a mobile phone.
Samsung Galaxy Y Duos Lite is a phone for the almost retarded and the "blonds of the world". The ad features 2 guys in Gangtok who find a wallet and while one wants to "party" with the new-found money, the other prefers returning the wallet saying it must be somebody's.
One line from the former friends says that there's no name or address but that doesn't bother his friends who removes his smart phone to find the address from a photo from the wallet!!!!
While the functioning of the app is superbly demonstrated  it shows how dumb people have become. One, for actually scripting this ad, and the other, to see this and think of it as an ad that could do well.
What bothers me is not the phone or its features, but the fact that it seems so much like a "client-script" if I may call it so.



Here are the flaws:
1) It's surprising that the wallet that was found has no identity card of any type that could lead them to the address of the owner. (hard to believe considering its a wallet with a big stash of money).
2) The dude with the smart phone to think that the photo that's in the wallet is where the owner of the wallet lives!!!! I have a photo of my wife taken in Paris. Let me see that dude catching a flight to go to Paris and to her "friend's house" to return my wallet just to find her not living there and also, even if they do find her, to know that it's not hers either. In this case, my wife knowing that I have lost my wallet, may just take it on my behalf, but what if I have a girlfriend's photo opposite her house and her parents do not approve of me!!! I know, it would be a perfect set up for a humorous script.

Again, I conclude that though the app on the phone seems amazing, it surely makes the user look dumb.
Such is the advent of technology!!!

The unforgettable evening with Hari

I fell on to the ground with a droning sound reverberating in my left ear. I was slowly losing sight of my surrounding. I was breathing hard and fast and could feel my breathing on my stomach, but slowly, even that began to fade away. And then... silence. I awoke with the noise of the small crowd gradually getting louder and louder and nearer and nearer. My eyes were open and were having difficulty adjusting to the bright light. I could feel my breathing again but this time - slow and controlled and now, my chest was heaving rather than my stomach. I was sweating profusely and the sudden lack of action was generating immense heat within me and I could feel it on my feet and hands. I felt like an ember emanating heat all over. I could feel the warm floor below me, even though it was wet. I also began to feel the heat below my, on my back, even though I was sweating and my banyan drenched. I moved my arms closer to my hips, folded them to help myself up but somehow, all I could do was th

Strategic planners, lateral thinking and stand up comedy

 Strategic planners have this innate habit and drive to connect seemingly unrelated dots and try to make sense of the world around them. No wonder that they immerse themselves into so many different kinds of things - and each will find its way into the work they do. Either it's in the brief, in the strategy deck, in the consumer insight, in the quest to simplify complicated thoughts and behaviours, anything. It's almost as if this constant need to connect dots and look for patterns is our coping mechanism to find meaning in chaos. It helps us understand the world better. And we do this so often that most often - it's on auto mode and spontaneous.  While we do this daily with the knowledge we assimilate along the way, we rarely utilize it to generate newer ideas when required. And then, I chanced upon a wonderful video by Mark Pollard, that showed me a new way to leverage this connection seeking behaviour of planners. It was used to showcase the power of lateral thinking, wi

Planners need to write BRIEFS not A creative brief

I was reading BBH Lab's list of 100 things planners should know, brilliantly captures by Chaz Wigley, Chairman of BBH Asia. (https://www.bbh-labs.com/chazs-100-things-a-planner-should-know/ ) The 10th point in that list is an interesting one. He says - "If you expect creative people to present you with multiple options then you should be ready to write multiple strategies to tackle the problem." I completely subscribe to this point of view. In fact, I think it should be the way we tackle creative briefs. But any look at a creative brief format of most agencies, you'll notice that it strips one of the ability to write multiple ones. The process is tedious, a lot of the columns are unnecessary that makes one question why it was called BRIEF in the first place. I feel a lot of them have too many unnecessary information points for the creative. They, in any case, rarely read it. They don't like briefs, they prefer the BRIEFING. To delve into the difference between the
