Computers Are Failing DJs
What you’re looking at in the image above is actually a 7-inch screen. It’s actually a Nintendo NES30. No, you can’t actually DJ from one of these. The point is that DJs already have a lot of equipment to haul around. Do we really need laptops to be so bulky and buggy? Maybe, there’s a better way. Maybe, the computer industry can turn their collective head toward the DJ industry and actually invent a product that takes up less room, is easy to scan quickly, and won’t be too finicky, especially since some clubs (ok, one club) have decided to ban laptops from the booth.
Is a more refined computer too much to ask for?
Well, maybe. While we’re waiting, check out this article by Peter Kim over at cdm.com. It’ll give you a new appreciation for thinking out of the box … and yeah, it’ll make you laugh, too.
