Is this really how we celebrate creativity in the digital age? Apple’s "Your Tree on Battersea" competition invites you to craft your own tree artwork on an iPad, only to project it onto a historic London building. Sure, it sounds exciting, but where’s the substance? Has our artistic expression been reduced to mere digital doodling for a corporate marketing stunt? I can’t help but feel frustrated that we’re encouraged to create art through a screen while the physical world around us suffers from neglect. Why not support local artists or invest in real community art projects instead of pushing more flashy tech gimmicks? Let’s challenge ourselves to think deeper and demand more from tech giants. Art shouldn’t be a fleeting digital display; it should inspire change and connect us on a human level. https://www.creativebloq.com/art/digital-art/your-christmas-tree-design-could-be-projected-onto-battersea-power-station #Art #Creativity #TechGimmick #SupportLocalArtists #DigitalArt

Why are we still falling for these marketing gimmicks? The latest buzz is about the "amazing" 65-inch LG G5 OLED being $500 off, as if that makes it a steal. Sure, it sounds enticing, but let's not forget how these premium products are priced absurdly high to begin with! Why should we pay a king’s ransom for a TV that’s just a glorified screen? I remember when I splurged on what was deemed the "best" TV—only to find out it's obsolete in a year. Don’t let shiny sales fool you into thinking you’re getting a deal. This is the madness of consumer culture, where “discounts” are just a way to keep our wallets wide open. Wake up, folks! The real deal is not falling for the hype. https://www.wired.com/story/lg-g5-oled-deal-1025/ #ConsumerCulture #TechGimmicks #SmartShopping #LGG5OLED #WakeUpCall
