AT&T Commercial response

When I first watched the commercial, my thoughts were that it was just another advertisement for a phone with navigation built into it. However, after reading some of the other blogs and thinking about more thoroughly, I've come to realize there was a bigger underlying tone about the whole commercial. The real target audience wasn't for adults, it was for younger kids. Kids between the ages of 8-18 probably watch more TV then all other age groups which is why AT&T used two young children in their commercial. They are in a big city and lost, which is a huge concern for any parent, but luckily they have the AT&T phone to help guide them home. If I were a parent who works full time, this would be something that my child would have to own. If you're going to buy your kid a cell phone, when not just pay the extra cash so they can have the navigation system? We are in the modern technological age and it seems like every kid has a cell phone. It's kind of ridiculous.

My first blog

So here I am at Hofstra, and I'm blogging. Writing online makes me feel uncomfortable because everyone and anyone can see what I'm writing. It's like walking into class late and everyone looks at you like you have two heads. It just makes you feel uncomfortable. At the same time, it's pretty cool to be able to share my thoughts with the world. Some people may even enjoy reading my blogs. I actually find it entertaining reading other people's blogs. Its interesting to see what they are thinking or how they feel about a certain subject. So far I'm not enjoying writing my own personal blog. Im sure if I were writing about something more interesting to me, like basketball or the color red, then this blog would be easier for me to write. I do find this site very interesting and I like the freedom blogging gives me as a writer. We'll see how my other blogs turn out, this is just the first one.
