Microsoft aired two ads during the Super Bowl

Microsoft was one of the companies that tried to put their products in the spotlight during this year's Super Bowl, and just like it happened in 2014, the Redmond-based tech giant chose to get all sentimental with its two videos.

And yet, the two videos aired this year are based on the same idea as the ones the company rolled out in 2014 and they try to emphasize that Microsoft's technologies indeed empower people to do more. At the same time, they also put the focus on Microsoft's efforts to help people in need and provide kids and those in poor countries with access to technology.

The 2015 videos showcase the story of Estella Pyfrom, who has created what she calls the “Brilliant Bus,” a vehicle full of computers that allow kids to work, play and make the first steps in the world of IT wherever they go.

A second video presents six-year-old Braylon O'Neill, who was born missing the tibia and fibula bones in both of his legs and who can now play just like all the other kids with help from Microsoft's technologies.

Both are really worth a look, not necessarily because of the way Microsoft promotes its technologies, but thanks to these stories that are really inspiring for each and every one of us.
