Advertising

The location where i spend a lot of time where i see advertising is in my family room. When i'm in my family room i watch tv. When i'm watching tv there are a lot of commercials. Just about every commercial is trying to make you buy something the commmercial that i see the most is Comcast. My family has Comcast, so they already sold their product to my family. The next one i see is Verizon. I have Verizon, i agree with what they say about being a good wireless provider. A commercial that i see a lot is Sonic. I have only had Sonic once and it was in Kansas City. I thought it was good. I just wish there were Sonic's near my house. The last commercial that i see a lot is Aflac. I think they are funny to watch, but i don't really think i would buy their insurance because it is expensive. In conclusion, i see commercials a lot. Some have an effect on me and other do not.

Tim Kiska's Presentation

I thought that this presentation from Professor Kiska was interesting. I learned a lot about ways to blog and learned how people blog on just about everything. I also saw that people can say anything they would like to say in their blogs. He also told the class that anyone can get their voice out there to be heard now a days, but in the past not everyone could be heard. Even people that make shows for national networks like Ken Levine have blogs. Overall i think this presentation helped me understand more about blogs.

Question #3

I would have to say that most college students like to be creative in their own ways. Many college kids these days make all types of art. All you have to do is look on a facebook or myspace, then you will see what I'm talking about. People take pictures of just about everything that looks cool or interests them. Just everyone wants to be rich and now just about anyone with a good idea can be rich. This means that the person would have to be driven to get what they want. This would mean they are in the experience and not just watching what others are doing. In the end i agree with what Conner says because the students now are making the experience.

Text Messaging Ch. 1

I hear a ring coming from my cell phone as i'm waking up on Friday morning. I opened my phone to find a text message from one of my friends about going to see a movie. I sat back and thought about what i had to do Friday... well no school, no work, so i was free. I said i was able to go to the movie. The next thing we discussed was what movie we wanted to see. We went back and forth, then decided to see Step Brothers. I went to get ready to go. I cleaned up, and looked through my clean clothes. I picked out a Hollister t-shirt and just a random pair of jeans. I went to get my Nike shoes, but when i looked at them i decided that it would be nice to get a new clean pair. Now that i was all ready to go i jumped in my car, plugged in my ipod and turned on shuffle. I was on my way to a fun day. After the movie, we talked about it; just like everyone else does. We both thought it was a great movie. Later after the movie, i found myself getting a little hungry. I called and text some friends to see what they were up to. I found some friends to go, then it came to the same question as always. "Where do you want to go?" It seems like that question always comes up. So after some time we decided to go to a hang out place around here; Buffalo Wild Wings. We watched some of the sports games that were on the tv's around the restaurant. After eating and just hanging out; i went home to go sleep because i had to be up early the next day to do a duathlon.
