Advertisements, ruling our lives?




Consumers are in charge but the persuaders are the ones who make us feel that way they make us feel important because they are listening to us but all they want is to know what products are going to sell.  As long as we are thinking about our selves we are better consumers. What do "I" want? That is the ultimate question of which the producers want to know because as long as they have that information they are golden in the sales industries.  Your question; "How will they know what I buy or what I want if I don't tell them?" Your answer is Acxiom. Acxiom knows and discovers what we do what are hobbies are what we buy where we are and when and they also know our names, what car we drive, our phone numbers, and where we live they are that one thing that is always watching you. So my question is they prying to far into our private lives? And why aren't we more afraid that they know so much about us? 


Music Now and Then





Now
·         Justin Bieber
·         Rebecca Black
·         Jana Kramer
·         Kate Voegele
Then
·         Elvis Presley
·         Michel Jackson
·         The Animals
·         Pink Floyd

We went from the classics from the king of rock (Elvis Presley) to the annoying voices of Rebecca Black and Justin Bieber. Now most people aren't worried about if the music is good or even decent today it is who is popular. If they are considered "popular" the they are listened to by everyone.  Music used to be show what someone was feeling, it ment something to someone in the world but now as long as you have a catchy phrase such as "Call me Maybe" and you look good on a magazine or album cover then you are in. To me music is everything, a single song can change my mood in an instant; and for those kids out there like me they enjoy the lyrics and the beat of artist like Kate Voegele, Bryan Greenberg, Charlene Kaye, Jana Kramer, Angels and Airwaves, Patsy Cline, and Gavin DeGraw. I was lucky growing up because my mom made sure that I was very musically rounded so I have a different appreciation for music than most people do. I just hope others are that lucky.
