Media wants me

My age group is wanted by every marketing firm in the country. We supposedly have alot of income to play with and we always know whats "cool". (If they wanted to know cool they should just look at me) In my opinion, news sites are trying to attractive younger readers because they know we are not reading newspapers. In fact, the newspaper is dying quicker than a goldfish you win at the county fair. They are trying to attract us by adding lots of interactivity. Video, blogs, polls, games and pictures are just a few ways. The young generation does not like to look at boring words all day long. We like flashing lights and moving images. We all suffer from a little bit of ADD. News sites know this so they are constantly trying to find new ways to entertain our wondering minds.

If technology was not a limitation I would have media web pages that were 3-D. You would fire up the computer and the reader would be completely submersed in the world of the website. I think that would attract plenty of readers. PS This is the last blog post for JEM 222. Its been real and I hope they have entertained you Staci and Peggy. If not entertain at least make you crack a smile.
