This is a video of University Of California Berkeley associate professor Eric Paulos smashing a laptop on the first day of his Critical Making course to get a point about something that he probably could have made a point about in a much better way. Or maybe he just hates MacBooks. In his own words:
On the first day of my Critical Making lesson at UC Berkeley,I wanted to get a point about expectations - about expectations for this course and more importantly about leaving them behind as we engage in the fabric and topics within Critical Making. Rather than say it or even show a slide, I unexpectedly and dramatically lifted "my" laptop and smashed it across the floor of the classroom. Okaaaaaay. 1) "My" laptop, or so it wasn't even his and 2) I'm pretty certain the laptop was already dead because the Apple light wasn't on and the projector stops before he even smashes the computer,but whatever. When reached for comment about the incident, all the students in the Critical Making course realized they'd critically made a enormous mistake signing up for the lesson.
Keep going for the video.
