1"What impact is this having us" Neuromarketing
           The mass media that fill our cities, homes, and minds with thoughts of what to buy can be both over whelming and confusing. There are hundreds of attempts to sell us products and a lot of those attempts work. If you sell a blue car and say it's safer than the red, people will buy the red. However if you say that red saves more gas, then people give some thought. While pondering these two cars - Now a green car comes that does both of those things but it's ugly and isn't very fast. Now people have to think whats the the best for them. While thinking what car they want.
         There are thousands even millions of different adds for different products with different options. All of this mind numbing madness is put on top of the rest of our daily life. I choose to believe that all of this media can cause our minds to get ambushed by thoughts and eventually we start asking ourselves whats wrong with us, what we don't have over what we do have and what will happen if I don't get that.
         The fact is that there is so much all at once it's hard for our brain to process and we start to wander, or get sucked in by media. Eventually we will be like those fat floaty people from Wally where their entire life is based of Products and things to buy.
         To visualize our world in another way, pretend that our world is like the Internet and our minds being giant computers. Millions inhabit it and millions use it to sell. Our streets have become cluttered and covered by pop ups that make it hard for our computer work correctly. The more pop ups that are piled into our computer the less our computers work efficiently. Eventually these pop ups make our computer slow, glitchy, have errors and sometimes cause them to crash...

  1. Corey, I think you're right in many ways. Life gets stressful, too, because of the many (too many) choices we have.
