It's the Monday after the big game which means it's time for one of my favorite past times - breaking down the highlights of the Super Bowl's best ads! It's one of the hottest topics of conversation around the office water cooler and it certainly has twitter and facebook abuzz. But, here's an interesting twist for fellow gadget fans... |
Over the weekend I came across a poll in Computerworld, highlighting the Top 10 Super Bowl Tech ads, since 1976. As Computerworld's Valerie Potter points out, "technology companies have a long and illustrious history as Super Bowl advertisers." So far, Apple seems to be holding a comfortable lead as the best Super Bowl tech ad: |
The Apple "1984" Super Bowl ad (1984) which introduced the Macintosh Computer to the world.
"No "top 10" list of Super Bowl commercials would be complete without Apple's iconic "1984," which introduced the vibrant new Macintosh computer to a sterile, gray, corporate dystopia inspired by George Orwell's 1984. And yet it breaks all the rules of Super Bowl advertising: It's not funny. It's not cute. It's not fast-moving. It's not heartwarming." "But, wow. Just ... wow." - Valerie Potter, Computerworld |
