  Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman.A man goes shopping because he needs something.His purpose is settled and decided in advance.He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration.All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want.If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on follows at once.All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.

  For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop doesn't have what he wants.In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else.He offers the nearest he can to the article required.No good salesman brings out such a substitute impolitely; he does so with skill:“I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the color you mentioned.” Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is. “This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.”

  Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way.Her shopping is not often based on need.She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round” .She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her.She will try on any number of things.Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her.Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes.They are always on the look-out for the unexpected bargain.Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on.It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one.Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.

Putting Movies on Mobiles

Movies in the theater get their recognition at awards ceremonies such as the Oscars.But how about movies for phones? They are getting their turn at MoFilm — the first mobile film festival.

The first MoFilm competition received 250 entries from more than 100 countries.Entries were restricted to films that were five minutes or less in length — ideal for viewing and sharing on mobile phones.An independent jury then selected a shortlist of five film-makers.The winner was chosen from the shortlist by an audience voting using their phones.

New Platforms

The awards highlight the increasing impact that mobile phones are making in the entertainment industry.Many grassroots filmmakers start out with short films.They are thwarted by the lack of opportunities to screen their work.Therefore, mobile phones are increasingly being seen as a new platform for these short works.  

It is a good place for anyone who wants to express themselves and find a way to have that expression be seen by a wide audience.Just think about how many people have mobile phones in the world!

New Technology Advances

MoFilm is pioneering content for mobile and online services that is a world away from Hollywood.The majority of films made for mobiles are now short in length, taking into account the screen size.However this could be overcome as technology advances.

In the near future, longer films will likely be seen on the mobile phone.And there are mobile companies creating phones where users can watch movies at higher quality.

Wherever you see movies, one thing is certain: the quality of work, the simple ability at story telling, and the thing that inspires someone to tell a story can really come from anywhere.
