Who else was expecting the fail to be a pornographic picture/video suddenly showing up on the screen? That's how these types of fails usually play out.
If a humble IT man could interject here.. You can see the gesture working. The reason that it isn't changing the photo is because she only loaded one photo, which is hilarious
Half the QVC fails are just because nobody bothered to play test the demonstration before they went live, or nobody bothered to explain the instructions to the demonstrator.
I've never heard of this feature and I was thinking the same thing. In the upper-right corner something appears to confirm that it read her gesture. It just didn't seem to have anything it would need to actually do a thing.
I'm 23 and I don't know jack about technology lol! I actually work in a nursing home in the recovery area. There's a 60 year old woman who's had a fall and shes recovering but she actually works with a big tech company doing an engineering and development job, and has been doing it for over 26 years. Typically Ive learned that it's older and old people who's doing those kinda of jobs. Lol my husband is 11 years older than me and he started small like on phones and computers then he started with minor developments.. but he went into financing cause he had the opportunity to make more money. But he was 31 when I met him and it took him a while to move up in software. The older you get the more you learn. And once you hit a certain age you'll start to decline. But young people are still learning not developing and depending on the person once they hit maybe 70 that's when they'll start declining. My husband's step father is an engineer and currently still has his own company and does mostly everything... he's 79 years old.
Thing is 99% of people out there young or old "have no clue how this works", they might know how to use the functions and interface but that doesn't mean they know how it works. Hell i knew programmers and testers at AMI (who probably helped develop the BIOS that computer is using) that didn't really know how half the systems worked. With that said QVC has a long history of peddling low end dells that were notorious for high failure rates.
@@mrs.noneyabuisness5025 So true! If it wasn't for my old ass self, my boys would not know how to cook seasonally or ancestrally, how to sew on buttons, self care for them and their children, how to make money, how to wipe their butts. May not be computer science but they know how to survive.
Peter Principle. You see that at major corporations all of the time. I live in French Canada. When we get clients from the USA visiting our shop, potential contracts worth millions of dollars, the staff members who can barely speak English are the ones chosen to give them a tour of the shop. Meanwhile my mother tongue is English, as well as others within the shop, and they never ask us to give our clients the tour. DUH?! Some people cannot let go of power and/or attention. I would say it's more of an issue of competence and a lack of proper management. Sometimes ego can tend to get in the way of a business generating revenue. This video would be a prime example of it.
But seriously, as a former salesman, she handled that as well as anyone could have. I mean it could have been a legit issue with the big screen but I hear sales BS loud and clear but again, pro level, real time salesmanship.
Pretty confident there was only one photo in the folder. The gesture thing worked at 0:18 and also looked to be registering on the laptop. Can also see it greyed out which I think means nothing else is in the folder.
Please send help. It all started with the punctured mattress. I figured I'd check out this video but now I see I've joined y'all and now I can't get out of the QVC fail pit!
I now know why hand gestures on laptops didn't take off. Also, I find it interesting that she was showing the Windows 7 media player and photo viewer on Windows 8.1 instead of the Windows 8.x native apps, which shows me how much lots of people didn't like Microsoft's 'complete rethink of Windows' they had with Windows 8.x.
It didn't change because there was only 1 picture in the album. Sometimes the cause is as simple as that. If you look carefully at 0:20, the feature did work.
The main point is --> send all of your hard-earned money to QVC to purchase cheap Chinese products that don't function properly (and will wind-up on the ocean floor in a month or two)
I thought she was going to put "adult content" in the screen😄😄😄 I remember when something like that happened to a college professor in the middle of full class presentation...
Because, when I give presentations, I love to focus on, and wave to my computer--turning my back on my audience. If you've got to stand in front of your computer to "gesture," why not just tap the right arrow button on the keyboard? Who thought that was a good idea?
She only opened up 1 single photo. The previous and next buttons under the image are greyed out thats why she can't go to the next photo. There isn't any other photos lol
