FAN FAIR
Vanity Fair describes itself as the cultural catalyst that drives popular dialogue globally. When they are writing about something do you take notice? When the most trusted clothing and lifestyle brand lululemon sends out a picture worth a thousand words, do you get the point?
Well, if you don’t then maybe I will text it to you.
That way it may be in a format that you can understand.
This month lululemon and Vanity Fair are both saying that we should try to preserve the real and tangible aspects of our lives in the midst of the rapid expansion of technological advancements. Messages like this only get heard when they are united with the right people and media.
My challenge to you is to submit your unique way of speaking to your readers/fans/followers on how technology infringes on the quality of their lives.
Here is some examples on how to be unique:
As quoted from the article What’s a Culture Snob to Do? By James Wolcott in this month’s Vanity Fair

Use a lil humour….
“How can I impress strangers with the gem-like flame of my literary passion if it’s a digital slate I’m carrying around, trying not to get it all thumbprinty?”
Or
Use metaphors….
“Books not only furnish a room, to paraphrase the title of an Anthony Powell novel, but also accessorize our outfits. They help brand our identities. At the rate technology is progressing, however, we may eventually be traipsing around culturally nude in an urban rain forest, androids seamlessly integrated with our devices.”
