N900 Videos

These viral videos from Nokia revolve around a common theme—”offline as it happens”. In this video, a loser has gone fishing in his little boat and fallen asleep.

Suddenly dozens of fish start leaping out of the water. One even leaps into the bucket on his boat, but still the loser sleeps. A fleeing flock of birds flies noisily overhead, ahead of a blazing meteor leaving a smoky trail.

Finally the fisherman awakes and looks around, in a daze. In the foreground someone slides open the keyboard of an N900. We see a picture of the meteor, being geotagged and having the “fun” tag added, before being uploaded to the cloud.

The unseen operator of the N900 was “online as it happened”, unlike the luser.

The snatches of music in the video are from Chasing Time by Alan Pownall.
