Classmate Review

In class all the presenters had interesting ideas. The idea I liked most was Molly’s idea about collecting information on the best places to live. Her idea can be useful to people of all ages. One might think it wouldn’t help someone younger, but there were many a times when I myself had to look up different places in the United States for different projects in elementary and middle school. As you hit high school you start looking at the places to attend college and the neighborhoods around. Most of the top places Molly named were near colleges and universities. Once in college these young adults are already looking forward at the next step in their life and that is where Molly’s information would come in handy again. College students will be looking for work and knowing the unemployment rate of these top places to live is useful information. Even after graduating some people move onto starting a family and knowing a great place to raise your family would be important. Knowing how well the school systems run in the area are important for growing families. Now after a long, happy life people look for the perfect place to retire. Once again Molly’s information would come in handy. So having all the information she presented in one easy to find location would be useful to many people of all ages.

Having all of this useful information would be nothing if it didn’t reach the people who needed it. The perfect places for Molly to advertise her idea would be on television. She should target a wide variety of channels, but hope to advertise especially on news channels during the new report. This would be beneficial because a lot of people at different ages would be watching. Another place to advertise would be in newspapers and magazines. Young and old families tend to have subscriptions to magazines such as, Good Housekeeping and Time Magazine.

Molly’s idea of collecting information on the best places to live and having it accessible to the people that need it is a great idea. It definitely also helped that her presentation was very organized and went right to the point.
