Super bowl commercial

Which super bowl commercial was your favorite and why?  Which was your least favorite and why?

My favorite super bowl commercial is Budweiser's "Puppy Love" commercial. Everyone loves animals and it was an adorable, and well thought out commercial. The commercial doesn't have a lot to do about beer, but the fact that everyone love it, it went viral, thus making the beer sales increase. My least favorite would have to be the Squarespace commercial, "A better Web Awaits". That particular commercial was weird, and didn't make a lot of sense. It was also creepy, but definitely my least favorite commercial of the boring Super Bowl.

Technology blog

Technology has led to the discovery of vaccines and medical treatments.  It has brought computers and televisions into people’s homes, and it has provided us with electricity, the internet, phones, cars, planes and much more.  But an argument can be made that technology has largely worsened the quality of our lives, polluting the air, making our lives needlessly stressful, and dampening our enthusiasm for books. 

If you had to give up one technological advantage that you use all the time, what would it be? Do you think you would be better off without it? Why?

             If I had to give up one technological advantage it would have to be my phone. I think everyone would be better off without a phone. I believe that texting, calls, and social media consume to much of our time, and that we can't get that back. As you can see from the chart above, an average smartphone owner uses his/her phone 58 minutes a day. I know the majority of teens, nowadays, use their phone more than a hour a day. Which to me is a waste of time, but I'm glued to my phone all the time as well, which that's why I believe that'd we would be better off without our smartphones.
