Moving Forward

Hopefully not the first female president, but I'd love to have your vote as one in a line of many strong females leading our country forward. Vote Murphy for United States President 2028!

Disclaimer: This is for a #manship2015 project. I have made no plans to run for President...yet.

So Easy

As a granddaughter of a grandfather trying to keep up with the times, I know all-too-well the struggles of adults and technology. I taught my grandfather how to use the Mac computer, email, cameras and his cell phone among many others on a very long list. Now my grandfather wants to get an iPhone despite my protests.

Another piece of technology we have in my house is a Vizio television, which is why the latest Vizio commercial caught my eye. Vizio recently released the tagline, “So easy, even an adult can figure it out.” Immediately I knew that this brand was by far one of my favorites on the market today. It not only brought out a comical aspect of my life, but it also tied that comedy to a struggle in so many parents’ and childrens’ lives.

The commercial currently airing on television includes a young girl helping her father with all sorts of technology in his day-to-day life. At the end of the commercial, however, Dad helps his daughter with the Vizio television. The commercial is wonderful because it is heartwarming, but also because it pokes fun at the slowness and newness of technology to the older generation. It makes that older generation feel like they are not alone and that Vizio products can solve their aversion to technology. I think Vizio does a brilliant job of letting its audience know that its technology is user-friendly by making a joke that most families can relate to.

Props to you, Vizio.
