So I'm watching the Olympics (with very blurry reception tonight, and little G staying up a bit to watch with me) AND blogging! But this is a short one.
Did anyone else read this article in the Sunday paper insert about the power of so-called "tweens." This was close to home, because we have one in that category already. But I think the article had some things we should all be aware of - how companies are targeting that age group, etc. I could post some tantalizing quotes, or philoshopical musings...if I weren't so tired and trying to watch the Olympics at the same time!
If you read the article, don't miss the part in yellow at the bottom: "TXT: The New Language."
Another interesting article called "Fleeting thoughts: How the internet is eating my brain." Unfotunately, you have to have a subscription to read the whole article online, but if you happen to, and missed this one, it is food for thought.

Good article!
ReplyDeleteHey Tiff,
ReplyDeleteI did read the article last week and although Jessa had viewd maybe 1 Hannah Montana episode ever she is buying the marketing hook line and sinker. I caved and bought her a high school musical tee-shirt - but feel great remorse at the decision.
By the way Scott says if you miss/can't get rteception for some of the Olympic events you can go to the NBC web site and view them there - in full color and static free!
