David Pogue writes about recent hot technology. He covers anything from new android (Google) devices to small laptops also known as net books. He is known for doing small video clips about the product. He sometimes talks in an odd voice and he points out very clearly the flaws in a product. Sometimes he dresses up when he reviews a product. The last thing he is known for in his videos is making a structure showing how something will work. They are grossly oversimplified naturally, but it gets the point across to the everyday viewer about how something works.
What about David Pogues writing style? He writes in a light, fun style. When he does that he keeps it informative to not get off topic. For example he will say something like this: This android device is great for the everyday guy who is tired of the iphones limitations that apple has set on the operating system. But what you might hate is the choppiness of which the android device runs at which can give a headache after a while.
David Pogue’s videos are a sight to see. The New York Times gives him a lot of slack and freedom when it comes to making his videos. More times than not his videos will be at his own house. One time he pretended to be an old man who is always complaining about something until he finds the perfect product that is easy to use. As well as cheap and simple to setup which he will then get exited about it. This is followed by a little theme music with a still frame of the old man as the clip ends.
Ok well anyone can make a video about a product, does he have a technology background to prove he might not be just making stuff up. How about college, and what did he study? David Pogue went to Yale and graduated “Summa cum laude”. This means he graduated with an average GPA higher than 3.8 in 1985. In Yale he studied English, music, and computer science. When he graduated he had a distinct interest in music so he went off to write and conduct musicals. He got an Emmy award for his tech affiliation with cbs news.
To conclude David Pogue as a tech guru, Emmy award winning, musical, Yale graduate. He enjoys making videos about new technology that will surely fill stockings. He keeps them filled with the keys points on the product but has a nice light mood and a bit of a comedic side to them. This helps to keep the audience at attention and interested. He is known for his videos being taken anywhere from his very own living room to CBS, 60 minutes, and even CNBC.
