3-2-1 about the 15' ted talk


In the " 3-2-1 Ted Talk", it talks about how people get so used to something that they don't bother to change it. One example Fadell talked about was the Thermostats. At first, they were simple objects to use but once people found out a way to save energy, thermostats upgraded their product so now users could program it at a different location. Another example that was when the ipods were first built and one had to charge it before they used it. Now, iPods are already charged when they are first bought. He also talks about how one doeskin even notice the stickers on apples after awhile because we are so use to them being on the apple.
One product whose features weren't well planned was, Microsoft Windows Vista which had many complications. 50% of the customers complained about this product. Another was when Metro PCS first became a company. They had terrible service and it was hard to get service in certain parts of any location. Now, they are paired up with T-mobile and they have great service.
One example of how i see a design well planned for a product is when the product works well, and other users are enjoying. Also, good products always have update.

Contreversal products


Recently, PacSan had to remove a $24 shirt from their stores. This is because many customers were angered about the upside down flag on the shirt. Some areas that i didn't know about before are Pacsun, KABC but i did know about the ASAP Rocky company. 

My very first scavenger Hunt!

On Friday May 22, My Business teacher assigned the class to go on scavenger hunt. some of the items are listed below:

  •  A place where people can enjoy scenery 
  • a spot that teachers often find most annoying 
  • where some items are turned into other items
  • an item that can be found on stock market 
  • a machine that doesn't use electricity 
  • a machine that doesn't use electricity nor gas 
 Having a partner during this scavenger hunt helped me find more things that were listed. Also, we were able to split up. By doing the scavenger hunt, it made me realize that everything is advertised even the littlest things like football sign ups. Advertising is a big part of this generation because that is how people are educated on what is going on around them.
