Baby Boomers

(1946-1964)

       Baby Boomer were the first generation of children and teenagers with significant spending power, and since they had such high numbers they fueled the growth of massive marketing campaigns and the introduction of new products, new terms were invented such as "pop group" and "hippie". This targeted at the boomer's current stage in the life style. Fashion followed the boomer's needs-from the mini skirt and bell bottoms to relaxed fit jeans. They were the first generation to grow up with watching television, women finally worked outside the home and divorce was seem as sociably acceptable.

Fads......Fading Away too soon?

                                                                        Webkinz

              The Target market for this item is children ages 6-10, mostly for girls but boys could also play. The reason this item is so appealing is that you get a physical relic of your animal that you could then connect online to play with, it made the stuffed animal feel more personal. The reason it faded is because the generation that grew up with it got older and they don't want to play with them anymore because they are all in high school or college at this point. Children these days now just play games on their phones and stay on social medias.

Best New TV Shows, 2016

My Opinion 
1. The Detour
2. Animal Kingdom
3. Angie Tribeca
4. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
5. You're The Worst

              On "Metacritic.com" There is a list consisting of 138 TV shows that have been released in 2016 with their respective seasons, they have been put in order from the best to the worst. Putting the highest rated TV show as "Stranger Things" and the lowest rated was as "Uncle Buck" according the the users accessing this site.

              Almost all the shows that have done well consist of either blatant comedy like "Angie Tribeca"  or serious drama shows like "The Americans". This kind of information shows what people look for in a TV shows, personally I enjoy comedy or serious action shows with lighthearted undertones. It seems like everyone else is also into that sort of TV show, especially during 2016.The Highest rated TV show for this year is "Stranger Things" which touches upon science fiction and supernatural occurrences. This is obviously something that people are really into this year which has dramatically changed compared to last year on this same website they had "Fargo" as the highest rated TV show which is more about crime and is a black-comedy.

Introduction

                My name is Janneris and I am a 12th grader at Reading Memorial High school. I have one older brother named Dorian who is a sophomore at Westfield University. My favorite class here at the high school is Epidemic Diseases and Intro to Calculus. Outside of school I usually work at Russell Farms, I also do gymnastics and play guitar. On the television some of my favorite shows are New Girl, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Americans. My favorite movie is either any horror movie or Zoolander with Ben Stiller. When I'm not busy I enjoy going on runs in the town forest, playing guitar or going to concerts. If I could go out to eat tonight I would want to go to either Panera Bread or Chipotle. Honestly, Thank you.
