Shopping on the Internet has never been easier as the VirtualBox campaign shows. This all-inclusive [online shop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/equativ-shoppable-ads) promises that, "If it’s on the internet, you can have it at home." Although the actual event of purchasing a product and then having it in the home may not be as instantaneous as it appears in the [ad campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/that-was-easy-campaign), it is convenient to know that almost everything imaginable is available,

Conceived by [DDB](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cargurus-latest-ad), an ad agency based in Bogota, Colombia, the VirtualBox campaign is simple and to the point. It centers around laptops that have an image on its screen that happen to mirror the person's home in the background. In one case, the lamp on the computer appears to be resting on the bedside table of that very home.
