Rant – Misleading Labels.

Yes, there are disclaimers which tells you. But nowadays, who reads those anyways. It all starts from the labling.

Let’s say… The Windows 8.1 upgrade assistant. You see in that page that gets you to download the upgrade assistant says “upgrade now”?

You see that upgrade now button? It caughts people’s eyes, thinking that it’s FREE.

Luckily, I don’t get that easily tricked. Usually, I look at the disclaimers, and it’s just… Terrible and misleading.

I don’t get it. Why does companies have to label like that? Yes disclaimers work, but not everyone can see the text, espicilly on TV where it’s small.

Now let’s move on to bias. Again, it can caught people’s eyes on it, even through they only make the number taller. In the graph note closely about that misleading graph.

You see that Club Penguin has the most out of other virtural worlds in that graph?

I don’t have to show you more of those misleading stuff, right? If you want to see more, just watch TV or look over a ad you see when your on a site e.g. ZDnet.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

You can help. First write letters to those companies about your feedback for the adverts they make. Also tell them not to mislead. Every company listens to their customer’s feedback, or how will they make money?

Spread this rant to social media. Using the power of social media like Twitter always work.

There are always ways to help make companies not to force customers to choose them!

We need to start reducing disclaimers for more ‘true’ freedom, k?

And companies, caughting eyes is not a idea… It’s called forcing people to choose you products.

We should not live in a world where disclaimers are everything…

That’s about it. Let’s start the non-misleadings now =D

 

Is change good?

Change is very important to our daily lives. But is every change good? Read on to see where you stand in change.

Logo changes
Yes, yes. You need a good logo for your busniess. But however… Some new logos just look retarded. If you don’t know what I mean, look at the difference of the Starbucks logo throughout the years.

So, how do you think starting from the first logo from the 1970s?

Cartoon/TV Drama changes
Again, yes changes are important. However some are just retarted. For example, Tamagotchi. It has now COMPLETELY ruined by anime… D:

Original, more “cartoony” style:

Ruined by anime, looks more “retarted now” style:

(By the way, I personally already HATE anime, cause of this. Oh yah, and someone at my school just LOVES anime.)

Technology
Remember the days when we only had PCs?

Now there’s tablets, smartphones, etc now KIDS hog those devices ALL DAY.

(No copyright infringement intended.)

Remember the days of analog TV?

(No copyright infringement intended.)

Now the TV world has changed forever.

Personally, change is somewhat good to me. But I hate how too many things change. That sucks. But for me it’s OK right now.

So, how do you think? Is change better or staying the same better? Tell us in the comments!
