Ebay Assignment

The Ebay assginment is mostly a waste of my time and energy because at 1st they want you to give up all this information so that you feel safe and so that people can know who you are and what you are doing. After doing all of this you look and find what intersets you or what are you willing to pay for. I started to look at some of the prices and they where better then most malls and even outlits. My experiences with ebay are just a little intense it takes for to wait. Mostly waiting for someone to reply back to the bid you made. I had alot of bid offereces but never took any of them because i started to feel lucky. When looking for an item i noticed that I went straight to most popular things. To me it felt good knowing that what I said counted for something to feel like your opinion matter. This game I started to bid on was called an x box360 and it was very compain that everyone wanted one. This gameto had all of the lastest video games for this system and can be an online chatting with friends and loved ones that you play with. So i started to bid the last bid started at $350.00 to $560.00. Looked at all the people who have taken time out in what every they do and sit on the computer and just look for stuff . I realized that most of these people have became addicted to the computer and the games and stuff. This to me seem more as a drug.


I did alot of thinking during the proccess this eperiment. I have realized that coorparte messages have effected most people in a bad way. We have became more relitient on the needs of other items and its sad that world has come to look like this. We buy off or needs to talk about whats important to us or hide or emotions into any activity that we are doing. Its like when u pick up a pen or pencil and you sit down to do your homework some of the kids can't foucus. They turn to other things because they feel like its better to do other things then just doing their homework. As another thought or point, is more or less that everyone has one so i have to get one to. Its alot of idea of feeling accepted by other people because maybe as a child something has happen to a person. This can cause alot of problems because it can be used as a cover up.

But to put the blame on anyone else it should be cooprate messages and how they use everyone now then more before to show us the best way to live your life. Most of America who uses ebay buys most of the stuff to still feel accepted in the world. They make more then enough money off of us. We always clame that alot of people dont get enough money to make a good living for yourself. But maybe its not the money that is the problems its the STUFF we buy with the money. America always wants to point the finger but sites like ebay dont help people get better with buying more stuff. They get better by starting small and working their way up to the top.
