Why do we like listening to music?

-

Do we listen to music differently in different stages of our lives?  Do we find some songs more gratifying than others in different times in our lives? Why do some songs make us feel good inside and others are just... just alright. Is it the wave frequency or is it that we relate to the lyrics? I, personally, know that I am not drawn to the words, sure it's great when the songs connect to your feelings and thoughts, but that is not my top requirement when choosing which songs I like or I should say which songs pull me in. I don't feel I choose them. They automatically get replayed and eventually given the title (at least in my head if I don't share them with anyone) that this song is goood.  My taste of music is different than what most people around me like. It is a personal thing. Most of the time I listen to music either on my earphones or in my car, sometimes there are others around me where in that case I listen to different genres usually something more upbeat. Most d...

MediaMEForum 2011

Today I'm attending a forum where top CEOs and business individuals are speaking about the digital revolution or at least the slow beginning of one in the middle east. Content is being placed online and reacted to on a daily basis, and it is creating an impressive impact on our society--anyone who watches the news will know this. The internet has become a movement of its own--its a place where anyone can be the advertiser, the contributor, the reader, the engager...etc. The digital media is very powerful, but currently what is missing in the middle east is not the presence of people to interact on the internet but instead the presence of useful websites for those media craving people in the middle east, moreover what is missing is the presence of middle eastern-created-websites. The majority of companies currently in the middle east are not utilizing the web strategically and placing useful information on their website...that's if they have a website at all to beg...

This is Why I Like Advertising

Look at these applications...they made me happy when I saw them: A reason for girls to get looked at... Anyone with the slight intention to gamble will definitely head straight to a casino after seeing this; and anyone who doesn't, will want to: Marketing the small and making it big: The better you play, the more you'll pay. There has to be a psychological impact on people with this ad. Gold Gym playing with the minds of people not only from afar but from inside the elevator...when the skinny man next to a hot chic wishes he goes to the gym. Smart Car: Sometimes mall is good: What's that you see? Call the police...oh wait, its only the Sopranos: "The Day After Tomorrow": that's how epic it will be: Superglue: When you want to make sure it stays put:

Ads that make you think

-

Orange SMS: Text messaging while driving prevents you from seeing what really matters. I miss seeing ads that make you think--that make you stop and read and then think . Plainly said. I go through magazines and newspapers and it is always the same thing: "aah this ad is about this product...I got it, you want me to buy it...okay next." The reaction I want to be getting is (if you know me): 1- [a low laugh or giggle and then a weird look from someone around me] "no way! That is creative, I wonder how they did that"?! 2- "hmm I wonder what they mean" [look into the ad further for the details to find out the message] 3- "Ewwww" or "cuuute" and then stare at the ad for a bit to just look at something creatively pretty that our eye is not used to. I need to point something out though--thinking too much about an ad sometimes makes it stupid--meaning after you see the ad you get "OMG from this that got thaaaatt??!!!" (negative) r...
