New Samsung Commercial: Funny Videojacking?

5/18/2012

0 Comments

 
Anyone can see the humor in this Samsung commercial titled "Banter" between two dudes who have digital dirt on one another. As they sit around in their living room holding their Focus Flash smartphones, the one on the left ups the ante and uploads embarrassing video of his friend to Facebook.

We include this because essentially, this is textbook Videojacking and as amusing as the commercial is, see how easy it is to videotape someone without his knowledge and post it to a public website or social networking profile? This isn't so funny when it's between teens and the digital dirt can potentially ruin one's reputation or set him/her up to the target of widespread ridicule.

Our chapter on Videojacking isn't just about ways to prevent this type of tactic, but focuses on ways to cultivate empathy in teenagers so that they view a commercial like this, they see way more layers to it than just humor.
