Compulsive Buying

     Every time you go to check out at a store they have stands of candy, magazines, and miscellaneous items that are convenient for the customer to buy. While standing to check out the items draw your attention and want you to buy the items. I know personally that I have fell guilty to buying candy and items while standing in a checkout line. Placing such items in the checkout line is a smart move for marketers since the items that are in the line may not be the typical items you would think about buying while walking through the store. The average person does not go into a grocery store to buy a Butterfinger or Hershey bar but while standing in the line with their groceries they see the candy bars and think that they need to buy that item to satisfy a want that they want. Some items that I would believe would go over well in check a check out line would be cell phone accessories, everybody now has a cell phone so I believe that cell phone accessories would be a smart move for marketers to try to start putting on the out line. 

Customer Markets

     Business's are always advertising stating that they have the best product or that their product works better than the competitors. This is a way that the business is portraying the consumer to buy their product over the competitors product. To sale a product the business has to appeal to the customer and make the customer feel that they need the product. The business advertises the product in a way that persuades the consumer to truly believe in the product. We are always seeing advertisement on t.v. that advertizes a car, jewelry, or life insurance stating just pay a small fee per month but what the business fails to tell the consumer that interest and taxes are tacked on to the price to. This is just a way that the business makes the consumer think the product is really better deal than it really is. I know I have fell guilty to the "scam" that business's place on the consumer to try to make you by the product.

Technology Ahead of Time

     Technology is always advancing, one thing that I believe is ahead of its time though is robots performing surgery. Many things can go wrong while performing surgery especially if a robot is performing the surgery. Even though doctors are helping with the surgery the robot is still in control of what it is doing inside the body. The robot could puncture a internal part that was not meant to be punctured resulting in a more complex surgery or even death. I personally would not want a robot performing surgery on me but I believe that in my life time robots will be performing a large portion of all surgerys. A robot is a man made thing and in my opinion anything man made has the chance of malfunctioning. I believe robots performing surgery are way above their time but will save money and make life easier for people.

Keeping Good Ideals

     Have you ever thought of something that would be a good ideal and then forget to write it down and you forget completely about it? I do not think of ideals frequently but when I do I like to write the ideal down to where I can go back and look at it in more detail and think about it to see if it would really be a good ideal. I like to keep my ideals wrote down in a notepad to where they are easy accessible. If you write the ideals down on an electronic device you are taking the chance that the electronic could crash then you have lost all the ideals that you had logged in the electronic device. There is no for sure safe place to keep your ideals since every place you store the information you are taking a chance of it becoming loss in some form of fashion, if they are stored on paper you are taking a chance on the paper becoming loss. With all of this being said I still believe that a notepad with your ideals on it is the best place to keep them.
