The Web is What You Make It

In a society driven by technology, universities across the country are beginning to require their students to own a laptop.  Being a college student myself, it is very rare to find another student unable to type on a keyboard without looking, or understand how to operate a computer.  Although computers are well known among students and young adults, the technology device is a foreign concept to middle aged and elderly individuals.  In fact, it is exceedingly common for individuals in my age group to have one or both parents who are unfamiliar on how to use the internet.  Taking this into account, Google has recently targeted middle aged individuals with their commercial, “Dear Sophie.” 

In the inspiring advertisement, Google Chrome not only demonstrations how simple the internet can be to use, but also the possibilities the internet can possess.  Through a heart-warming advertisement, Google Chrome shows how you can use their website and various features to create a 21^st century baby book that your kids can read when they’re older. 

I am a die-hard of the Green Bay Packers and the Milwaukee Brewers, and even I have to fight back tears while watching this commercial. 

It is a touching experience to find this father writing to his new born baby Sophie since the day she was born.  In the development of the 21^st century baby book, the father organizes videos, pictures and messages through Google’s numerous accessories—Chrome, Picasa and Gmail.  The adorable advertisement exhibits parents can avoid the hassle of gathering decades of pictures, along with the struggle of stuffing them into a bulky binder. 

Google owns everything, even my emotions.
