What you have done here could possibly be positive, but because of how I did the original postcard and the overwhelming amount of wii remotes, it is still negative. What I am getting from this, is a product of evolution and technology. This remote is a replacement for the racquet. Because of the rendering of the tennis racquets and the awkward motion being portrayed, and the clean rendering and clean motion of the remotes, it looks like they are taking over and kind of showing off.
This technology has let the player play off the court and inside their home. You no longer have to have a ball or a partner. You also don't even need to know how to hit a tennis ball with a tennis racquet correctly, anyone can play with this technology! Sure, that's positive and exciting thing, but what about tennis as a sport? What about the true athlete and the mentality it takes for this game? I think these remotes are giving a bad rep for tennis it self. And hopefully this virtual tennis will not take over the real game.
That's probably nothing you had in mind when making this. How far off am I?

Damn Josh! I guess I was communicating very clearly then because thats exactly what I was going for. The way that people nowadays have the technology to play any sport, or play any instrument etc. Technology has made things easier for us so that we don't have to have the neccessary skill level it takes to play these things in real life. And yes hopefully these "virtual doings" don't take over the actual sport or hobby.
