Imagine a time where access to information was not readily available at the click of a mouse or the tap of a keyboard, when the lyrics to that song that you liked on the radio were only available on the inside of a CD case. Imagine having to go to…gasp…the library to find things out. That was what it was like before the internet came around. This ad for BC Hydro, created by DDB Vancouver, points out that it’s power provides us the internet, and unless we want to go back to those medieval days before it, we should be power smart because power is precious.
