Homework 7 response

The internet does make the accessibility to free things come to reality. People, however, do still enjoy paying the extra to get their "copies" in better quality or ASAP. The media around us and our peers are usually to blame for why we like to get our items as soon as they become available and in the best shape possible. Being the first to have something is always uplifting and people enjoy having the attention on them. My mom loves to get things right away when they come out. She was up at 3 a.m. for the Verizon iphone release, and just a few days ago she was in line at Best Buy at the 5 p.m. Ipad 2 release. When I ask her why she goes out of her way to do these things, she simply responds she enjoys doing it. Everyone has their own hobbies and ways of doing things. Some enjoy spending less money while others see money as not an obstacle. "Free" isn't always the best way to do things.
