homework 29

in class we was watching a video about how people try to catch the teenage eyes and try to get them to buy their product.  so they did several interviews to kids and asked them a set of questions to why are certain things cool. what makes them cool and attracted. each of the kids had different opinions about things because of personal thoughts. these companies would try and manipulate you into buying their products by showing their ads all day and everywhere. a teenager would watch ion average 3,000 commercials a day mostly of the same products.

companies all over the world have specialists that go out and try to seek out the trend setters. they try to find what is the next best thing that is gonna catch the populations eye so they could buy their products. the specialist would go around and ask people to take pictures of something they are wearing or something they have on like a tattoo or some kind of piercing. they people that are asked to take the pictures feel cool because they think oh i am gonna become the next best thing. everybody is going to copy my style and i am going to get noticed.

the sprite company made a huge impact on the young population. they came out and tried to reach them and tried to become their friends. they would throw parties and give away their product for free. they wanted the teens to get involved and made them feel like they were cool and popular. another organization that reached out to the youth was MTV. they would bring people on their shows and made them feel powerful and cool when they had the viewers choice to pick the songs.
