PSA

PSAs or Public Service Announcements are statements made by certain organizations and occasionally the government, to spread awareness about a particular topic or issue. They can relate to smoking, drinking, public safety, etc. I don't believe PSAs are effective because they typically come off as too manufactured, cliche, or cheesy. People don't respond to a message differently if they have heard the same message before. The most iconic, innovative, and impactful PSA I have seen is "Dumb Ways to Die". It is creative, humorous, and has also generated over 100 million views on YouTube. PSAs are a necessary evil because they do change the actions of many individuals.

Prezi vs. Powerpoint

Powerpoint is much easier to use. I am much more familiar with Powerpoint and have used it numerous times. I think they both present meaningful presentations but PowerPoint is more interactive. I know how to have slide and text animations along with backgrounds for each slide. I think prezi has certain qualities unique to it like the slide transition feature of a much larger picture. I will use PowerPoint next time i make a presentation because it is easier, faster, and just as effective.

My reaction to "Words for Teenagers"

             I completely agree what the judge is saying. The world doesn't owe anyone anything. It is our job and responsibility to show the world what we have to offer and do our best to achieve that purpose. It doesn't have to be charity. It doesn't have to be generosity. You can be a completely selfish shark who isn't afraid to make the hard choices. That will be your purpose. That's can be what you offer. The world is expanding exponentially and it is not afraid if you are left in the dust. You must do your best to keep up with this ever-changing planet. You define your destiny.
