I am the kind of person who is very interested in knowing what is really going on around them. As a student this can be a very good and very bad asset. I tend to look at things very intensely and at that I can sometimes get off topic for far too long and miss the point of what I am doing. I imagine that some of this has to do with my personality and some of it may have to do with the climate in which I was raised. My parents very highly stressed the importance of having a great education and thus made sure that I knew everything I could on a topic. The are very proud people, my parents, and thus they always wanted me to make sure I was the most well read and the most well informed person in any room. This also coupled, I believe, with the popularity of the internet at my school which gave each of us laptops for our class work. The internet has become a system that functions as a giant market for goods and services throughout the entire world. As an individual it is a platform through which you can buy and sell just about anything you have or wish to have in a relatively quick pace. This has been a great advantage for those people within the world community who have grown tired of advertisements and commercialization of every aspect of life. Trading will always be important in every society, but the marketing tactics have begun to shift over in to something a bit more human and much less totalitarian in nature. Online marketing, as I have found in my own searching, has changed drastically as a result of a demographic shift away from advertisements to a more individual basis. Now tactics such as search marketing have begun to grow in pace and effectiveness. These new tactics are just meant to link consumers with their products in ever increasing speed, without all of the jargon and empty language.

I think that because of these two factors, I have grown to see the world as a place, like the internet, where answers can simply be plucked from the sky and understood completely at a moment's notice.
