Today, in class we learned about mental realestate. We learned how our society, uses just about anything and everything to publish advertisement, and to fill our "mental realestate," with advertisements. The first article was pretty self explanitory, and we did a study in our class, where Prof. Stuart, would ask us a variety of question, and we would raise our hands if we had heard about it. For example he said Jennifer Gardner, and the whole class raised their hand, but then he said J.J. something and nobody raised their hand, because J.J was a producer of a show. The second article basically talked about how we are losing the common ground, because the advertisors need space to advertise what they are trying to sell. In doing this billboards, are put up and natural ground and common ground is being lost. In conclusion, todays, class was not only interesting, but was an "eye opener," as well.
