    1. those forgotten nurseries of girders and axels.

      I sense some humanization or personification here in this line. It implies that there were once "robot babies" in this poems world. The cities of Detroit, Gary, Pittsburgh, and Braddock are all going to be turned into robot baby nurseries in the advent of a robotic apocalypse.

    1. And it suggests this means you can finally destroy all those things that have been so burdensome, like massive pianos and messy paint.

      This is a good point as well, not everyone has the space in their home for a piano, or a space for a mannequin in their attic. The new iPad eliminates all that, and gives you space for other things. The iPad fits anywhere. After all, it is the thinnest Apple innovation.

    2. In our current environment, the ad plays as an extension of, or maybe a companion to, the idea that artificial intelligence — or what travels under that name — can take over the production of art: of books, of illustrations, of music, of films.

      This also good, I like the ease of this computer and how I am able just open it and have the entirety of human entertainment in my hands, and I can even create games with this thing. All Apple did, and Apple weren't even the first people to do this, was make it way easier to have some serious creative potential this is insanely widely accessible to anyone that has any sort of access to the internet.

    3. that this tiny, thin iPad can contain what is important from all these things.

      This is exactly what the ad was going for, I don't understand why Apple apologized to anyone for this, because they should not have. I thought it was cool how it concisely displayed how the newest Apple product, at the time, can do all of those things at once, and it the palm of your hand as well. All of those things are 100 times more expensive than just the iPad itself, the piano alone probably costs over 4500 dollars, and just in one iPad, you can have the whole nine yards of instruments, art supplies, photography, and wayyy more.

      The grass, the birds, the bees, the animals, the sun, the clouds, the trees, the sky, the ground, the bugs, the nature itself came to greet the jar in an almost beautiful way.

    1. Either you’re sunk in the past, half our walk, thinking of what you never can bring back, or else you’re off in some fog concerning —tomorrow, is that what you call it?

      We often get too involved in things we have no control over, such as the past and the future, we need to live in the present rather than any other time. The present is the most important of all.

    1. Nothing beside remains

      Almost nothing remains of this once feared, mighty, tyrant king. "And just as mysteriously has he came, he was gone."

    1. And when it's January and all cold like this feels like June's a long, long ways away.

      I agree with this because its very cold and I hate it.

      The soldiers in this war do not want the light inside of themselves and their friends to extinguish.
