Boing Boing: Computer industry to entertainment industry: we lied (right on!)

September 23rd, 2004 · No Comments

This is funny…

We saw that you were old and weak. So we took advantage of it: told you things that you wanted to hear so we could kick you in the head in twenty years. Some of us told you that the future is going to be interactive - what did you do? You started to think how to make interactive movies (CD-I, anyone?), which is not what it really means, while we wrote games and tried to understand the new mediums, not how to bolt it on onto old things.

I think I may whore out BoingBoing too much.
