Yesterday I received an email from a PR person of a well known manufacturer exhibiting at the ICFF. She was upset because in my post I mentioned her firm product defining it "interesting but not new". She wrote that the product was new in the manufacturer line. Her email impressed me for two different reasons:
- the lack of interpretation in the semantics of the word "new" I was referring to the overall meaning of the word new in the context of product design, not specifically to her manufacturer line
- the language she used and arrogant tone of her letter
I removed the mention, and started wondering...and I feel quoting Francesco Guccini L'Avvelenata:
"Ma s' io avessi previsto tutto questo, dati causa e pretesto, le attuali conclusioni..."
PS Guccini in his lyrics writes of "quattro soldi"; I even don't get those from this blog....
