Superbowl Ads?

Umm, no okay, the fact that we're spending 3 billion dollars on ADVERTISEMENTS is unbelievably rediculous! We talk about making our country/world cleaner, helping out in africa and stopping aids/HIV or finding a cure for cancer but instead, oh lets just blow 3 billion dollars on a 30 second commercial people might only see once during the ENTIRE show. Makes sense right? I don't agree with the fact that they spend that amount of money on ads, i don't agree with the fact that people are willing to spend that much money on ads and i don't agree with the fact that people don't really care that 3 billion dollars is being wasted.I honestly think people need to get a grip on reality and realise that a 30 second commercial isn't going to save the world.

Technological Advancement?

It's almost mandatory to have a laptop for collage or university. I should know because two of my sisters are currently attending their first year at collage. It's amazing how much money is put into alot of usless things. In one of the videos posted on the Media Central blog, they mentioned spending a huge amount of money on books that they barely or never use. It's rediculous because the books that the college students buy are hundreds of dollars and do they use them that often? No, even my sister who is attending collage for Nursing said that she barely uses them. So why are we paying huge amounts of money for something that we never use?

I honestly disagree that technology will improve or make things easier. With technology growing, we will barely have time to keep up with the advancements "needed" in schools. Every year, things change, technology grows and more jobs are needed. But how can we keep up if all this technology is taking over the use of books and notebooks? We have programs that read to us, how much is our education going to change if everything is computerized?
Although it's easier and faster, i'd rather be smarter by actually learning then just to have it right in front of me on a screen.You're better off smart than stupid.
