Challenge # 2.11: Humour Has It...

Thank you Shona, the winner of last week's challenge, for your awesome Reconnect Documentary Link! I know that Joanne saw the link and loved it - watch out for it maybe popping up elsewhere!

This week, we have a fun, less serious challenge.


Dan posted a video on his Facebook yesterday showcasing the difficulties some less-experienced technology-users may have identifying technology gadgets (i.e. a Wii remote, I-Pad, or GPS). If the technology hasn't been described to the audience via commercials or manuals, it truly can look like bizarre alien gear.

This week, post a picture of a technology gadget, and write up a humorous adverstisement description of an alternate use it could be mistaken for. Give it a name, etc. Really pitch it to us like it's an informercial!



The point of this exercise is to take the perspective of someone on the opposite side of the Digital Divide, with a funny spin.

Excited to see what hilarious things you come up with!
