I don't believe you Mr. Nokia



It's that time again. Nokia research have a new film exposing the delights of how Nokia will be at one with your life and your life at one with Nokia. I have to admit this particular film narks me somewhat less than another offering a while back that fumbled around the nano meme.

However, i am still perturbed by it's cleanliness, by its perfection. Knowing a little bit about how Nokia Research do their research I'm disappointed that a broader and more diverse context has not been explored within this narrative.

Obviously it is intended more as a PR piece than a genuine exploration of potential futures but even as a PR exercise it leaves me thinking,

"oh, shut up...lets say i did live an idealised Scandinavian life, i still wouldn't believe you Mr Nokia".

I don't think I'm alone.
