"In the future, we'll get design from India and China, for free"
- Ronald Jones
Maybe that's not the exact quote but anyway, it came to mind, when I got the phone call - direct from India - answering my sos-email. One of those outsorced IBM Indian consultants who unfortunately, could neither speak proper english, nor understand my complaints. Kinda nice though, she seemed quite busy and concerned with the release of the reference ticket WIH ST0000007394172 - OVSD 539452930 - in other words, she needed me to say it was ok to go on with the next one.
Tired of intercontinental mumblings and timeloss for both sides, decided to tell her it was working and moved to next table, where Eva, the as nice as experienced assistant who has been working there for more than 25 years takes care of everything:
- I'll fix it soon, don't bother ;D
Maybe the help comes for free, as well as - according to Ronald - the design. But to which extent is this authenticity-centered society compromising the actual quality of what it comes? Like happens with cheaply-promoted magazines, this free-something might just point out a not good enough product.
