Prelude:
A Fortune magazine editor traveled to Japan on a company junket, had a bunch of fun and then realized he needed to deliver a trip report to his superiors.
The ‘gadgets from the future’ report was quickly developed on the flight home from the Sky Mall catalog and includes this years technologies of:
- an ultra-portable Sony VAIO UX90P
- ZPN/Kenwood MIURO iPod dock
- Mikimoto Beans iTheatre personal iPod theater
- Sharp Vodafone 905SH mobile phone with 2.6″ screen for watching videos
- Nintendo Wii controller
- Hitachi WOOO Blu-ray digital camcorder
- and a new range of motivational posters
Luckily, his bosses had been too busy playing golf on the company dollar to notice that everything had already been announced or realized, they also found the motivational posters very enlightening and bought several for their employees break-rooms
This post is suppose to be a joke about the CNN article titled Next year’s coolest gadgets. If you take a look at the real introduction, it says:
On a recent prowl through Tokyo’s electronic alleyways, our tech guru was drawn to six stylish products. None is available in the U.S., but that may just be a matter of time.
The only problem is that all the “next year’s gadgets” have already been presented months ago, some are available to purchase like the iTheater Video Glasses, others will be available on the upcoming weeks like the Nintendo Wii.
And this concludes our mocking for the worst CNN article ever.
Interesting to say the least…
