And while Elise points us to that quote again.. does anyone remember from which Coupland book I actually got it ?
I`m guessing Microslaven but I`m really not sure anymore .. could be Generation X also .
The deep motivations are exactly the reason why we could be in marketing, only we'd probably
really have to believe in a product to market it.
Yes I want to the world to stop paying a zillion times for the same piece of code, so I want them to use Free software,
Yes I want the computer to do what I say , I want to see why my harddisk is making a noise and I want to be able to kill -9 a process so I use a unix type of sotware.
I want to be able to read the code and learn from it
And I want others to do so too.. I want them to realize it is possible... so I`m spreading the word, one person at a time I`m explaining them why they might want to give Free Software a try. I`m blogging about it.. I`m giving talks on different subsets of the topic around the world.
I`m doing marketing for a product I care about , one that I believe in ... only it happens to be geeky.
With the lack of internet , computers in general could there have been another product that I'd be caring about, promoting and talking about ... we'll never know..
