President Barack Obama’s words in his recent speech to the school children in the United States didn’t seemed to be controversial especially to the tech companies and/or products mentioned to the new generation. Perhaps, there are good things being said and indirectly quoting a gadget for bad side.
Quoting from his prepared speech, President Obama said ‘I’ve talked about your parents’ responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and get your homework done, and don’t spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with that Xbox.’ This gives negative impressions to Microsoft.
All other companies got praises as Obama quoted saying ‘Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war; who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon. Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google, Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.’
Obama also quoted for positive remarks for Apple’s iPhone ‘Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor – maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or a new medicine or vaccine.’
Looking on a brighter side, Microsoft should still be proud as Xbox will not be mentioned if it’s value is not marketable giving users the desire to buy for it.
