Incredible Amazing!

img_2462
Keep up with technology or fall behind. That’s what they say, and besides some of the stuff is pretty cool. What’s even more fun is hearing all the buzzwords they use to describe whatever they’re hawking.

Can we use these magical words here, for landscape architecture? As the song says, come with me and we’ll be in a world of pure imagination. Maybe we don’t make computers but we do imagine landscapes, and occasionally do things with chocolate. Take a look and we’ll see…

I’d like to introduce an incredible, amazing landscape that comes alive made possible by technologies and imagination that changes the way we enjoy living outdoors. It’s more than just a new design, it’s completely natural and expressive, a seriously cool synergy of life and nature, that optimizes both your experience and ecology. You’re going to love it and we’re so happy to have brought it to life for you. With 24% more color, 17% more species of birds, watch what happens when for the first time ever you create both living spaces and habitat in your own backyard. You’ll notice that living outdoors has never been easier. It’s truly the gold standard of sustainable design, changing the category with an incredibly easy to use space that brings your backyard to you in an interactive format not possible before. Your new landscape will have so many great uses, things like escape, relaxation, birds. Let’s take a look at birds. They fly, eat, bathe and support the core functionality of your new ecological garden. It’s truly the new generation of design, and you’re going to love it!

So, how did I do? Are you inspired? You should be; these words were certainly chosen by highly paid psychomarketing experts to get your blood racing, your neurotransmitters buzzing and your brain lighting up like the brightest OLEDs.

Here are some things I gleaned from watching promotional videos for technology. Sometimes they repeat, because that’s what they did in the videos. I’d like to think of them as a tool kit for DIY hyperbole.
