Towards making you smarter - we owe it to you

As an IBMer my job is to constantly promote my company's products and solutions. The latest push from IBM is for a 'smarter planet' and I think everyone should know what it means. So let me try and do my part to help everyone understand it

You see, at IBM we are all smart people and we are trying to get the rest of the world to be as smart as us - we are trying to solve your problem of being dumb. Earlier we had 'Solutions for a small planet' but the planet ain't small anymore. We have over 6 billion people and almost an equal number of computers - each competing to be smarter. Then we had the 'on demand' era but nobody demanded smartness the way we expected. Now, we have got the computers to become smart, yet you non-IBM mortals are still not smart enough.

 So with this new innovative approach to building 'a smarter planet' we really hope to make you smart.

The thought process is simple - if we succeed, you will all be living on a smarter planet with only smart people in it and we would have made it happen ! On the other hand if we fail, it would only be because you were not smart enough to catch up with us.

Either way, what we are trying to say is that we ibmers are smart people. Never mind...
