Where do you want to go today?

Commentary summary:
Privilege and access are at the heart of Microsoft's lifestyle-driven marketing campaign for the Windows 98 OS

Text Commentary:

Microsoft's Windows 98 ad campaign highlighted the potential for personal computers to serve as trans-national, cross-cultural conduits for all forms of entertainment, information and education that wealthy white people could want. The campaign's catch phrase, "Where do you want to go today?" captures the ideology of privilege and access that characterizes much technological fetishism in the TV ads of the early 90s.
