I hate reading papers. They can be so unmoving at times. They don't usually affect me or get me to think. They can be too repetitious. But after reading "'It Gives You Wings'" and "Apple"s iPod" I've discovered that papers aren't all that bad. Some can actually be moving, although at the same time they can still have points where I'm unfazed by the topic.
"'It Gives You Wings'": How to think about Red Bull in a new way
1. Never thought how Red Bull could be a healthy lifestyle
2. "embodies the spirit of energy"; Never thought how it could apply to athletes in keeping them energized
3. The comparison of Red Bull to an angry bull; how the animal builds up energy when it is mad and how Red Bull builds up the body's energy
4. Reflecting how often people use Red Bull and realizing how much it is needed during stressful situations
5. The necessity of " speed, efficiency, and convenience" of Red Bull is similar to our fast needs of drive thru windows, credit cards, and other on-the-go tools
6. Red Bull can benefit those trying to lose weight actively
How it does not provide stimulation:
1. Some repetition of the same information is dulling
2. Not enough narration that could capture my attention more
3. Some points are vague and generalized: "The colors on the can are stimulating as well. The bright red bull attacking a yellow object against a metallic blue is very stimulating" This has potential for more creativity and excitement
4. What about other energy drinks? Should there be a mention of their effects as well? An expansion into the field of energy drinks maybe?
5. What about the culture, race, and ethnicity? How does that come into play. I lose interest because I assume there's nothing more when there is more to know or compare.
6. Do not fully comprehend the paragraph on symbolism therefore I lose some interest
Quick note: There wasn't much that didn't move me in this paper. I am impressed and pleased because I can read more work from this person and enjoy it
