do more shit per second with thing 2.0 (modern tech market)

Thing 2.0

The tech world is on the verge of frenzy at the release on Tuesday of Thing 2.0 by market leader StuffCorp.

“It completely revolutionizes the nature of stuff. Thing 2.0 is basically like nothing we have ever seen before. The game has literally changed.” said StuffCorp CEO Chris Warner.

And it seems like the public agrees, with over 2,000 people lining up outside of StuffCorp’s Silicon Valley superstore in order to be one of the first to get their hands on Thing 2.0.

IT aficionado Sam Doyle, who we spoke to after ha¬ving lined up for 14 hours to get his hands on Thing 2.0, was adamant that it was worth the wait.

“Thing 2.0 is just in a league of its own. It does stuff twice as fast as its closest competitor, up to 12 trillion things per second, and that’s just unrivalled in the current market. I love it.”

But, behind all the hype, what does Thing 2.0 really offer? Well, the main change to Thing 2.0 that differentiates it from the original Thing is that it is 33% smaller, 20% lighter and can do literally ten times more shit than the original thing could do.

The improved performance of the Thing 2.0 essentially comes down to the BuzzWordDrive, which features 3 blue LED lights and an aerodynamic design, allowing it to perform the vast array of functions that the original Thing could only dream of.

170 million units of the Thing 2.0 have already been preordered, merely confirming how, in today’s fast paced world, it is simply irresponsible to get left behind.

Thing 2.0’s tagline “Do more shit per second, today.” has clearly resonated with a public that has more to do, and less free time, than ever before.

But will the public be satisfied? This reporter thinks so, but with rumors of Thing 3.0 already in the works, public expectation is on the rise.

technique a week, part two.

so, last week was skipped because i had a lot going on.
this week i’m going full force with the next part, bridges, walkways, and paths; mainly the entourage that accompanies walkways and the suspension and supports that make up bridge structure, and how to cast appropriate shadows onto the paths using detail.
