Response to Julianne Braverman

Do you think that you would be able to give up your cell phone for a day? A week and be able to get through the few days not being connected at all time?

Personally, I do think I would be able to give up my cell phone for a day. I am not as big as a cell phone user as most of my friends are, they are constantly yelling at me for taking to long to text back or call back. I lose my phone constantly and never really care where it is. It's sometime relaxing to have a day off from being constantly connected to everyone. Still, I think I couldn't go much longer then a few days. I believe that our generation has a hard time not being constantly connected because it is the way we grew up. We have all had cell phones glued to our hip since we were about 13. Although it seems like too much I don't believe any of us could go a long time without being connected.

Super Bowl Ads

Super Bowl advertisement is one of the most popular times for marketers to show off the newest products they have. Millions of people from all over America are glued to the television for roughly three hours. Some people even watch the Super Bowl just for the funny commercials that they have never seen before. They are normally extremely witty and have great visuals for the audience to enjoy. Most of them are related to car companies, alcohol companies, or chip and other junk food. Viewers who are watching the Super Bowl are the perfect target audience for these items. Still its costs millions of dollars to show these commercials during this time. It is an extremely higher price then a regular commercial that people will see as well. Knowing how many people watch the Super Bowl commercials would you be willing to pay that much extra for a few seconds with that many viewers?
