His responsibilities will include collaborating with the manufacturing company on \u201cmany creative and technology endeavours across the \u2018computer continuum\u2019\u201d. What does that mean? Apparently, he\u2019s going be helping Intel design their gadgets \u2013 laptops, tablets, and smartphones.<\/p>\n<p>Of course the question everyone is asking is, \u201cIs this just another case of celebrity mascot or does Will.I.Am really have something to offer Intel beside a face and name?\u201d According to VP and chief marketing officer Deborah Conrad, \u201cIt\u2019s imperative that Intel and our innovations are kept in front of the global youth culture that embraces new devices and new forms of communication and entertainment.\u201d But that really doesn\u2019t answer the question. So I suppose we will have to wait and see.<\/p>\n<p>You have to admit, Will.I.Am is an interesting choice for Intel. I mean, the company has never exactly been associated with \u201ccool\u201d \u2013 Apple, yes; Intel, not so much. So the move feels like a surprising one, but it also feels a bit clever \u2013Will.I.Am and the Black Eyed Peas have worldwide popularity and he is a face well-known to a lot of people. Hopefully, it\u2019ll work out for the company.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, in addition to helping with gadget design Will.I.Am is also going to be producing music for Intel. So it wouldn\u2019t surprise me if we don\u2019t start hearing a new hipper version of the Intel tune before too long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to an article on The Next Web, popular Black Eyed Peas rapper and producer Will.I.Am has been hired on at Intel as Director of Creative Innovation.
