I needed eduFire circa 2009/2010 today
I was editing a movie in iMovie today. I’m incredibly retarded with stuff like iMovie. Seriously retarded.
Anyway, I would have easily paid someone a dollar a minute to walk me through what to do. For someone who had used iMovie more than a few times it probably would have been a piece of cake. Let’s say 10-15 minutes.
On the other side of coin there’s someone out there who’s a passionate Mac user. Who loves iMovie and everything else that Mr. Jobs creates for him or her. And yet, assuming there isn’t a Genius Bar within commuting distance, he or she is stuck working a shitty service job somewhere doing something mundane rather than sharing love (in this case, love of Apple products).
This scenario is repeated millions (billions?) of times throughout the day in our society.
You’ll be aware of it from here on out. You’ll have that moment of “If only I knew how to do…” and “Search isn’t quite the right approach for this…” and you’ll think of our person of the other side of the value chain who wants to…would love to…is begging to…fulfill the other half of the transaction.
The future can’t get here quick enough.
