Hello. I've been searching for a rather obscure video and haven't had any luck so I thought I'd try the goon collective.

The video in question is an industrial film (a 3-5 minute advert to be shown at trade shows and the like) made by Motorola and showcases a new mythical product which is basically just a primitive smart phone. The film, which I think was called "Paul's Day", would have been shot sometime around 2000-2001 and takes place in New York City. It features a teenage boy (Paul presumably) as he goes about his day and uses his smartphone thing to integrate seamlessly with the world around him. I don't recall there being any dialogue in the film and also there was perhaps some sort of love interest???

Anyway if anyone is able to find this or any information about it I would greatly appreciate it thanks

Thanks but I tried that and still can't find it. I was hoping maybe somebody else had seen it and knows what I'm talking about.

Closest thing I could find to a modern day smartphone from motorola in that time frame was the Accompli 009, no commercial for it though

For some reason I don't think it was tied to a specific product but more of like a "this is the sort of technology we're working on and here's what you'll be able to do with it" sort of thing.

This is really frustrating me now lol. I was talking to a mate about it and he asked how accurate it might have been predicting the use of smartphones and stuff and I could have sworn it was on YouTube but not anymore I guess????

Can't they just put the goddamn burger together? It's literally going to be a whole 2 minutes before ppl eat it. It's just more effort for everyone.
