Human machines are the next big thing



The new e-revolution of e-communications is about to come in our e-world. The actual next e-big thing is to be found in the field of video games.... But before I begin to tell you about my huuuuge discovery, I would like to say a few words for those who do not respond to the name of "geek" : DON'T BE AFRAID.

In several years, people will realize that their entire life changed thanks to one little silly games console (which looked like that) :


If you suffer from geekphobia, if you don't believe in the existance of the internet and if you're as ignorant as your granny in terms of hardware, this sentence has been elaborated JUST for you:

According to the Microsoft god, Kinect is nothing but "a controller-free gaming and entertainment experience". In other words, basically, to put it in a nutshell, the Kinect technology will enable users to control and interact with your Xbox 360/games console/PC/Macbook Pro/Toaster/ WITHOUT THE NEED TO TOUCH A GAME CONTROLLER THROUGH A NATURAL USER INTERFACE USING GESTURES, SPOKEN COMMANDS OR PRESENTED OBJECTS AND IMAGES.

I perfectly know that some evil geeky spirits will tell me that I'm so two thousand and late... but I do accept criticism only when it is narrow minded (it generally makes you feel smarter). What those e-geniuses seem to have forgotten is that in order to survive, a technology needs to spread and invade every aspects of private lifes!!!



What is brilliant about the Kinect system comes from the fact that it tends to make technology as simple as Abc. The next communicational revolution is linked to what a consumption society like ours looks for, that is to say, creating new strong habbits. In that case, Kinect is about to revolutionize our approach to deal with machines. Before Kinect you had to make do with the technical obstacles. I mean that you had to learn how to use a technology in order to master it entirely. Now with Kinect, technology is equal to human naturality. The machine is human so you can "naturally" control the machine.



Kinect has more than just a future in the field of video games. The Kinect technology could be transposed to the world of business or even of arts! For instance, just imagine what kind of impression you could make on clients in a business meeting if you could replace your sad power point presentation with a kinect "one man show"!



In the same way, you could also imagine how bad Kinect could rock the world and the work of an architect! (Even though I must admit that architecture is facing a conceptual crisis. If you don't know what I mean just have a look at that:

H.I.R.E me



NO BEE, NO HONEY. NO WORK, NO MONEY.
Am I being cynical? Yeaaah...definitely. But you have to understand that there IS a work market. So I have to follow the rules no matter how much it costs and how ridiculous I can get. That is why I created an online resume.

However, you need to understand that a resume is supposed to depict WHO you are but in that case it just indicates WHAT I seem like.

Btw : You have to remember, just like Miss B.Spears said, that "I'm not a girl...not yet a woman".

Work is not a curse, but drudgery is.

Even though I'm not much of a dreamer, I can't deny the fact that sooner or later I will have to get a job, earn money and pay taxes. To my mind, the only thing that remains dramatically important in one's professional life is being able to wake up in the morning without feeling depressed about the day to come. So, in that case, the key word is nothing but "stimulation". Your job HAS to be stimulating otherwise you are doomed to be unhappy for the rest of your life.


If I don't want to waste my precious life, I need to do something I might be able to do not necessarily at work. And what I do all the time is having ideas. Whenever I watch a serie, read a book, or talk to interesting and boring people, I get those strange ideas that often make laugh my relatives.


While writing on this blog, not only had I to find concepts and creative ideas but I also had to find them quick. So the main quality I developped creating this blog consisted in racking my brains during a limited amount of time. Whatsmore, from time to time I had to think about topics which were not my cup of tea, or let us say, of which I clearly had no idea. My point in life is not about being pertinent. I don't care about talking shit all the time as long as it strikes people. I am not rigorous and serious about anything. I just love letting my mind wander. So the sole competence I would be able to sell to an employer would lies in my capacity to blow people's mind through images and concepts that really are twisted.



So, I could only find my dream job in the creative departments of a media company. For instance, I would love to elaborate ad campaigns like that :




or like that :
But if you really want me to tell you what I would also be good at, needless to say I wouldn't mind writing scenarios, find new concepts of tv programs and new ways to promote them on the internet. I even might be able to create teaser using enhanced reality!!!!!!


So if you don't mind, I will now write a personal message :
I LOVE HBO ! I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO WORK FOR YOU GUYS! I DON'T EVEN EXPECT TO GET PAID! I MAKE LOUSY JOKES BUT I AM OF YOUR KIN!
