Video: Microsoft’s 8 million dollar 2014 Superbowl Ad – #Technology. Empowering

With this 8 million USD ad for the superbowl, Mashable reckons Microsoft won the Super Bowl in more ways than one.

This video leaves a very warm feeling about how technology has united us, empowered us, going beyond limitations. I particularly like the health and medical applications of technology. Last year you guys helped me out when I chose to do a project of smartphones in medicine – something that Nokia had already been a part of through Nokia Sensing X Challenge and the various implementations of Nokia handsets before that. Nokia’s motto was always more than a slogan. Connecting People is so much truer than WP’s “putting people first” :/. It’s a shame that we didn’t (or at least I didn’t) see WP or Nokia Lumia in this. Technology in phones has been very empowering too.

MS billionaire and founder, Paul Allen, is the owner of Seattle Seahawks.

Microsoft employees were out in their thousands showing their support.

Apple seems to have tried something similar ‘shot entirely on iPhone’. It’s definitely no Nokia. Though theirs shows all of their products. It’s somewhat less personal and emotional than Microsoft’s video.
