We made a short video describing the allegory of Plato's cave. We compared it to the Help Desk and the confusion that some people have when their computer may or may not be ghosted. We intended to have some humor in the video. The help desk people (played by Kevin) would represent the puppeteers, the people distorting our interpretation of the truth. The puppets are the laptops, the items that provide the puppeteers' something to explain their agenda. The help desk would be the cave because you become stuck there and taking in the information that we are given there. The chains would be the warranty that is present in Chester's issue with his battery not being able to be replaced. The prisoners are the students with the IBMs. The shadows are that help desk only mentions ghosting as a solution to solve the computer problems. The sunlight is the truth that Chester receives when he learns that his battery could be fixed and replaced without it being ghosted.
