Apple’s (AAPL) holiday commercial “Misunderstood” has rekindled debate over the impact of personal technology such as smartphones on society. The much-talked-about Apple (AAPL) TV commercial shows a sullen, disconnected teen fixated on his iPhone while his family celebrates the joys of Christmas. But, surprise, it turns out he was making a video of his family the whole time. Some thought the tear-jerker ad was wonderful, while others found it sad. Check out the debate at Forbes and Gizmodo. Comedians have long addressed through humor the impact of technology on our personal relationships and culture. Satire website the Onion had perhaps the best response to the Apple commercial with its article, “Relatives Gather From Across The Country To Stare Into Screens Together.” Online comic the Joy of Tech illustrated outtakes from the Apple commercial. They included Grandpa yelling: “You mopey little brat! Stop playing with your stupid phone and join the rest of this happy family!” Scalper1 News
