It's almost everything I've disliked about Apple over the years crushed into one advertisement. "You can imagine the pitch: 'All of human creation compressed into one impossibly sleek tablet.' But the end result feels more like: 'All of human creation sacrificed for a lifeless gadget.'" Others have commented, It's almost the exact opposite of the original Apple 1984 ad. The great thing about the internet has always been the way it allows for a flowering of creativity, but today's internet seems to speak in so many ways against that.
