15 year old rocks financial world, what!?
Alright, so a few days ago a friend forwards me a report written by a 15-year old kid about how teenagers use media. I read it and am just floored that the content of the report was deemed worthy enough to be PUT INTO A REPORT!? I mean, come on, folks, what are we doing here? Are the leaders of Morgan Stanley Research so far out of touch with basically everyone else that they are shocked by what this report “reveals”?
I’ll quote one section in particular, titled Directories:
Teenagers never use real directories (hard copy catalogues such as yellow pages). This is because real directories contain listings for builders and florists, which are services that teenagers do not require. They also do not use services such as 118 118 because it is quite expensive and they can get the information for free on the internet, simply by typing it into Google.
So, teenagers are exactly like every other person that has the barest ability to type Google.com, press enter and then tell the little box what it is you want to find.
Comments (2)eMusic Seems to Be a Good Place to Start
So, this blog is going to touch on a ton of different topics. Generally what my mind is on when I open the browser. To kick it off, we’re gonna talk eMusic and the Case of the Terrible Decision.
Long story (and longer comment section) short, eMusic signs a deal with Sony to offer some 2+ year old music to their customers and in return they cut the number of downloads their users have in half. Now, if you aren’t familiar with eMusic, then you need to understand that the people that are members of this subscription service are looking for hard to find music that isn’t offered at your more well known outlets like iTunes or Amazon. Now, apparently, you know more than eMusic did when they made this decision.
