Latest headlines: Marco Cella on Zoom becoming the new “anyone can play guitar,” plus news from BenQ, PPDS, Extron, Logitech and more

November 1, 2023 | Volume: 21 | Issue: 41

 

According to Marco Cella, Zoom is one of those “anyone can play guitar” things these days. He tells a really great story about a friend’s dad (who we wouldn’t assume to be a Zoom power user) using the tool as much as anyone and even using the word as a verb! It just goes to show how quickly technology can trickle down and how COVID-19 really did solidify the company (OK and Teams too) as paramount to our industry.

Enjoy this newsletter, #AVtweeps. Oh yeah, and happy November!

+ Anyone Can Play Guitar: The Quivering Line Between Consumer and Professional [Marco Cella]

As the stereotypical European fish out of water that I was, I returned home filled with so much food and gratitude that I still call her family every year on that very special occasion. We speak about the weather, football season or whatever hits the news: nothing special, just a routine check that recolors those warm slides in my head. So, last November, much like every year before and since, I phoned in to say “Hey, happy Thanksgiving!,” and after all the usual chit-chats I heard her father saying something that will be etched forever in my brain: “It’s a shame Marco couldn’t come over, but at least we did Zoom for a bit”.
