Super Bowl Ad

My favorite Super Bowl commercial is the NSA commercial. It had everything in it, it made you laugh, it made you smile, it may have even creeped you out a little. But, it was engaging and that is what makes a good commercial, at first you didn't ben know if they were being serious because it just seemed to weird, but as you made your way through the commercial it became informative. In the end that is what all commercials are doing wether you realize or not all commercials are there to get you to remember their product or idea. After all that if you remember the commercial it is mission accomplished for the company that made it.

Macbook Air/Laptop

Apple MacBook Air 11-inch (Mid 2013) : Angle

     Technology has led to the discovery of vaccines and medical treatments.  It has brought computers and televisions into people’s homes, and it has provided us with electricity, the internet, phones, cars, planes and much more.  But an argument can be made that technology has largely worsened the quality of our lives, polluting the air, making our lives needlessly stressful, and dampening our enthusiasm for books. 

     If you had to give up one technological advantage that you use all the time, what would it be? Do you think you would be better off without it? Why?

     If I had to give up one technological advantage that I use all the time it would be my laptop; only because I would never give up my phone or TV. A reason to give up a laptop would be that most things you can do on a laptop you can now do on a IPhone or IPad. No, I would not be better off without because it is still an essential tool to use for school projects. Laptops make it much easier to maneuver through web pages and documents; however, with everything seemingly moving to mobile technology web pages are being designed to fit your mobile phone screen making laptops not a must have technology. When it comes to needing to print Apple Inc. now sells AirPlay printers; which means you can now print directly off your IPhone, IPad, and IPod.
