“likes” measures the about of new likers of a brand. b. Carmex: engagements are more important than likes because you can have people “like” pages with promotions without any knowledge of the product or true interest to ever purchase the products. A lot of ‘likes can provide inaccurate information due to the amount of individuals that simply click it without reading. 3 a. Engagement: Connecting to the Facebook audience by posting quality content daily that might attract consumers and gives them an opportunity to engage.
At first glance it seems it would be equally as beneficial for adolescents to have a cell phone to help parents stay in contact and keep track of them, but with a closer look at the negative effects that a cell phone can cause to a teen’s health, behavior, and education, it becomes clear that the possible detriments far outweigh any conveniences that a cell phone may offer. The most obvious threats that come along with cell phone use are the physical risks. Young adults feel they are impervious to danger and take chances with texting and driving. In Amy Novotney’s Dangerous Distraction, she discusses some of the various studies done on the effects of using a cell phone while driving. These studies show how conversing uses different cognitive skills than other activities and takes up a human brain’s “bandwidth” (Novotney).
Although advertisements seem as a positive addition to countries in need of a stable economy, it is a enormous impact on people’s lives. (Doc. E) Without it, people wouldn’t know the latest fashion style, the best car, or the new developed drink and it would keep people in a boring routine of buying the same products and not exploring. Even though advertisements try to influence people’s decisions, it is up to the people as consumers to make moral
A good solution might be to block the access to websites such as Facebook, so that technology can continue to be a tool for knowledge and intellectual advancement, rather than socialization. Many friends of mine use Facebook on a daily basis for several reasons: to chat with other friends, to see what other people’s lives look like, or to keep in contact with people that live far away. All five of the friends I asked said Facebook is a very useful website, but it is also addicting and a waste of time most of the time.

Jane Mukala Professor Hart ENG 101 March 18, 2015 Does The Internet Make You Dumber? Nicholas Carr argues that the internet has bad effects on the brain. He says that the internet makes it harder to remember anything, and that it is harder to move memories into long term memories. Carr thinks that by skimming information, it will diminish the ability to read long texts; I disagree with him because the internet makes actually makes us smarter and think accurate because we are aware of every little information around us. Carr thinks that excessive use of the internet might cause permanent changes to the way our brains work and we don’t have to remember as much, because we have RAM (Random Access Memory).
With the new inventions of texting and other ways of communicating through technology, it seems that more and more people would rather just be a face behind a screen. Moore’s point was that the new ideals of constant texting are killing the communication between people. Texting has become a very important part of most people’s life. Nowadays, a lot of people prefer to do everything through their cell phone, rather than face to face . It makes it easier for people to say things through a text message because they are not in front of the person.
Mitchell Heyne Composition 2 January 7, 2014 Unit 3 Assignment 1 Summary Response Paper “Wow, this isn’t a bad article” I said to myself as I was reading “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” The point of this article is that people are losing the ability to concentrate for long periods of time, especially if they have no interest in the subject. Some people see this as a mental disorder, however, this is due to people trying to look for a quick fix and not doing the thorough research. I will agree that the way people are thinking is indeed changing, some for the good, but most for the bad as well. Search engines are rerouting our memory. According to one article in Science magazine, we're not necessarily losing our ability to remember things.
The instant entertainment, communication, and social media all gone, people’s lives would probably be destroyed. We are too reliant on technology and it’s becoming part of our lives. Computers and cell phones affect social interaction, interferes with family obligations, and shortens ones attention span. Although this “supersystem” provides us with the best entertainment and is always convenient, we should go into the outside world and do activities without the use of the internet. Instead of wasting valuable time browsing the web, try going to a fundraiser or book signing.
Metal Detectors are the Safe Way ! Many students and teachers question why are there metal detectors in school. Students also say having metal detectors are a waste of time and causes a lot of hold ups in the morning. However haven’t you noticed that most of the schools that have had shootings in the past were due to the lack of metal detectors ? don’t you think a couple of minutes you’d spend on a line for metal detecting may save the life of another school mate or even yourself?
Hannah Garrett Professor Lee English 110 17 September 2015 Teen Movies Summary In “High-School Confidential: Notes on Teen Movies” David Denby expresses his thoughts on high school and how kids overcome the treacherous four years that shape their future. Over many years, high school has transformed into a twisted, judgmental “hell hole” and does not have much potential of returning back to the peaceful and conservative place it used to be. Prior to today’s disrespectful student population, teachers and parents of the students were looked very highly upon and were associated with scholar and wisdom. However, today‘s environment is completely flipped; teachers are not taken seriously and are treated as if they are a joke and parents
