response to hype

      Advertisements are consider the most biggest mental pollutants to human beings. In the article "Hyped" written by Kalle Lasn. The amount of commercials floods the brain at a rate of 3,000 marketing messages per day. I agree with Kalle Lasn because their are so many commercials that have to do with adverstiments of new products that are shown on t.v every single day.
      One reason why i agree with this article is because from the time that i watch in the morning and in the night before i go to bed i see so many commercials that are even repeated to be catchy to consumers. While waiting for my program to come back i show the same comercial about 3different times within 7minutes. And by the end of seeing the commercial 3different times i had already memorized it, which shows that commercials do flood our brains fast and it floods it faster than school work does.
     Another reason why i agree with Kalle Lasn is because when i first saw the commercial for this cool brand new toy that was just coming out i wanted to have it. I wanted it so much i begged my mom for it because i knew all the cool kids would have it. So she got it for me and the next day when i told my friends about it all of them had gotten it too. From my personal experiences is why i believe with Kalle Lasn that adverstisements are everywhere to catch the eye of future consumers.
    In conclusion avertisment and commercials are everywhere so that future buyers could buy the product when it first comes out. Eveywhere that people go there are adverstisments either on buildins, walls, t.v's, magazines they will do anything so that people will remember the product.

summary: allergory and the cave

allergory and the cave is about how people where being in trapped behind walls in caves for most of their life. they only things they would see behind the walls was shadows of objects but never the real object. once a man was released from the cave he saw reality for what it really was and didnt agree with it because he was to used to only seeings shadows and when he saw the real things he didnt want to believe it. he then went back to tell everyone that the world wasnt what they thought it was going to be.

summarize hype

This passage is about how ad's are being placed all over everything people use. The author's most important idea is that back then ad's were placed in certain places and now everywhere you look there's an ad.

blog 1"hype"

This passage is about how ad's are being placed all over everything people use. The author's most important idea is that back then ad's were placed in certain places and  now everywhere you look there's an ad.
One important idea in this pasage is that t.v commmercial pollution floods our brain at the rate of 3,000 marketing messages per day. Its significant because people's brain are being filled with songs and images and there forgetting about educational stuff.
One example that supports the significance is when the person says "i often used to hear beethoveens 9th symphony play in my head. Now all i hear is that kid singing the oscar meyers wiener song". Another example is when the person was filling up the tank in the car and the nozzle even had an ad on it which shows ad's are being put on everyday things people use.
