  • Hmm. Not a marketing person, but I’ll try to make an idea that sounds only slightly insulting.

    Think of it like this. You’re working from home, a coworker is out in the field doing live research and your boss will be doing a presentation in front of the shareholders. The coworker in the field records data with their phone, sends it to your laptop, you arrange it for your boss, send it to their tablet and the boss just slides it over on the giant TV as they take the credit for your work.

    Or a more personal example. You’re at home in the mood for a movie or a game on your budget smart TV, but you’re too lazy to do all the whatever to get it going. So instead just sync your phone, PC/Xbox and TV with a Microsoft/Xbox account and do everything remotely using your phone/tablet as a controller, from the comfort of your couch.

    It’s Microsoft NSYNC, baby! And that’s why everything has to be tailored to fit your lovely, greasy fingers. Comfortable comfort. You know you want it!

    How should I know? Which part of “I’ve read the story” didn’t you understand? It shows me as a reader of a story other people wrote. If you want reports, wait for someone who has them and if no one shows up, then consider it as if there aren’t any and it’s just a story randos on the internet passed it on.

    Jeez, the nerve of some people these days! Wanting corroborated facts and written documentation for everything! Whatever happened to trust? To faith in your fellow humans? Oh yeah, we broke it repeatedly. Oh well…

    I’ve read the story a few times over the years and it’s kinda a myth, so feel free to be skeptical.

    Apparently there was a program going some 40-50 years ago. Train the best and brightest, deck them with the best equipment available and send them out there as the elite. It failed horribly leading to the highest death count the police force had seen. With what little money was left, the opposite was done afterwards. Send in the dumbest hicks around and give them free reign.

    It worked brilliantly. Crime rates were down, death count for the police force was down, costs were down and the bosses were happy.

    Everyone else suffered, but who gave a fuck? And so, the modern police force was born.
