A.Technology can make us more productive but it can also make us less productive. For examples computers and new technology machines make jobs alot easier for example the internet makes it much easier to find information. An example of technology being less productive is when we are in school and always using are cell phones for texting instead of doing are work.

B.Yes multi-tasking is really task switching. It is task switching very quickly and because we are switching tasks very quickly we pay very little attention to one task instead of if we were just doing one thing and giving it our full attention. The consquences of this can be car crashes etc. Very little productivity for a single task.

C.I think that it is not true and that young people do know things in depth. Although knowledge for kids is quite easy to access they still know things in depth in may be different from what the last generation knew in depth though. What kids know in depth today is technology kids know everything about technology alot more then the older generation. Kids know technology in depth where as the older generation know other things in depth etc.

How will you make your brand stand out?  How will you hit the ‘Reptilian Hot Buttons’ you are targeting: The football will have cleats with wings on it on both sides of the ball making it authentic and unique

How will you ensure that you are (quotation from board)

Productive. By showing smaller companies our ball and getting lower leagues then the pros to use it first ex ncaa etc.

We will be getting a movie producer to show the football in his new movie the man. The movie will be staring Ross James who will be playing the roll of a highschool football player who leads his team in his grade 12 year to a provincial victory. The unique thing about this movie is that it will be shot in Canada and will be based on Canadian football which is not advertised as much as American football. Any football used in the movie will be Travis’s ball for the practices, games, and when there just throwing the football around.

.

Also Vikings are rebuilding an NFL stadium after the last one collapsed due to a lot of snow on the roof. In the lobby of this pro football stadium we are getting the engineer to but a large metal statue of our football. The whole Vikings football team will be there for the grand opening of there new stadium. Each player will have there picture taken by the statue by reporters thus distributing pictures of the statue into various news papers advertising it with out anyone realizing it. We will emphasize that lots of pictures be taken of the Vikings star running back Adriane Peterson since he is more likely to make it into the paper. On the back of each seat in the stadium there will be Travis’s football logo as well as above the entrances from the food concessions to the seats. Also for any games played in the stadium Travis’s footballs has the league right to only allow any of the teams to use the Travis ‘s football s.
