Knowing What We Want

"It's a shame that the people who are listening to you the most are only interested in you because they want you and your peers to buy their product."

I believe there is some truth to that statement. Industry today works so hard to get into our lives to see who we are, how we act, what we want, what we don't like so they can sell us a product. They are very good at their job. They have to really listen to us because we are their market and what we buy determinds how successful they will be.

I am not necessarily comfortable with this statement, but when you really think about it, it's true. But, they are the only ones that really have to listen to us because we are their market. What other jobs are there that go inside the teen culture and teen life? In order for that specific company to come out on top, that's what they have to do, and they chose to do it. Others don't necessarily chose to listen so closely.

Overall, I agree with the statement and believe that there is truth too it, but that's the kind of world we live in today.
