Quote:The "1984" Macintosh Ad
by Sarah R. Stein
The half-time of the 1984 Super Bowl featured a 45 second ad that would be declared in 1995 the best ad of the last 50 years5. The commercial, directed by Ridley Scott (Alien, 1979, and Blade Runner, 1982) for the Apple Corporation, announced the imminent arrival of the Macintosh computer. The ad cost $1.6 million to produce, and Apple Corporation paid $500,000 for the one-minute time slot in which it ran. It ran only once.

May we all get on board and no longer find boredom from simplicity.Technology is a godsend, and a challenge, but with it's positive attributes we can all be here- now. Happy Birthday, indeed. |
