The More They Manage The Less They Know
My company made an interactive timeline showing the history of how this large Telecom company grew to be one of the leading companies in the world. The communications manager was satisfied with our work, but she wanted to display the timeline on more than just the little screen on the PC. We told her that it wasn’t a problem and advised them to buy a flat-screen TV to mount on the wall.
Client: “But how do you do that?”
Me: “Do what?”
Client: “Get the PC signal from the PC onto the TV?”
Me: “Oh, we won’t need to create a signal.”
Client: “Why not?”
Me: “The timeline will be mirrored on the LCD.”
Client: “That’s smart!”
Me: “Well, it’s a common feature actually—”
Client: *Interrupting* “But, where shall we place the mirror?”
