Rewatching the Google event and recently watching a Microsoft event and the Apple event… they all sound the same. I’m not talking about products. It’s same way of speaking. That slightly robotic pace. Identical inflections. It all looks modelled on Jobs-era keynotes but too often these things now lack character. They certainly lack any real sense of individuality – ironic, given that the number of people on stage at these events continues to grow. 

 @683562c3 It's definitely connected to the pre-recorded nature of so many of them. And even when they're not pre-recorded, they are now so heavily scripted (by people who can't write scripts) that it completely lacks any humanity.
