media entry # 6 (use of computers)

Computers are found in every Kuwaiti household in multiple amounts, yet the most people that are affected by computers are the high school students and younger. this is because they have the option and choice to stay connected with their friends whilst doing something else. this "something else" could be homework and this could affect the final product of the homework leading to a drop in sufficient work done for each homework assignment. since most young adults use computers, the internet has become a great advertising device. i see advertisements for all kinds of things everyday, and almost on every website! since this is so, us teens have learned to block out pop ups and advertisements due to it being everywhere, therefore transforming it into an ineffective advertising method. the fact that most of the advertisements are completely pointless does not aid this situation for advertising agencies. in Kuwait, it is rare to find people who purchase products online, since it is hard to find certain sites that ship and send to Kuwait, or simply recognize Kuwait as a country! Also, people here and everywhere have learned to question the credibility of the advertisements since most of them try to make a complete mockery out of its "clickers".
