Flipboard Culture Desk<p>Supersized signs reign over New York's Times Square, creating a place where advertising becomes entertainment. The MIT Press Reader tells the story of Oscar J. Gude, the man who invented the enormous electric sign he called the "spectacular," starting with the Trimble Whiskey sign in 1904. Electric advertising “literally forces its announcement on the vision of the uninterested as well as the interested passerby,” he once said. “Everybody must read them, and absorb them, and absorb the advertiser’s lesson willingly or unwillingly.”</p><p><a href="https://flip.it/q4gyj-" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">flip.it/q4gyj-</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/NewYork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewYork</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/TimesSquare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TimesSquare</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Innovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Innovation</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Advertising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Advertising</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Design" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Design</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>history</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/histodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>histodons</span></a></span></p>

Pretty amusing video featuring a self-professed geek.

The bemused looks on the faces of passers by in #TimesSquare remind me of quizzical expressions people had when they first saw others "talking to themselves" wearing AirPods or whatever.

If for nothing else, watch it to the end to hear what a profound realization the guy had while using #Apple #VisionPro, and what a sage advice he gives at the end.
