gooberTV episode 2

episode 2 for gooberTV is now up!!! it's pretty kinky

engineers v marketers

i thought this was pretty interesting and somewhat humourous

Engineers - think it will catch on simply because it’s possible

Economists - think it will go mainstream when it’s cheap enough

Marketers - are sure it will explode if they spend millions marketing it

But the most important thing is that it will not catch on before it’s user friendly and easy to understand!
