Audience Analysis Paper
The video with Steve Jobs introducing the “First Ever iPod” was incredible. When viewing the video presentation the audience demographics as in age and socio-cultural background, I felt geared towards the age demographic and socio-cultural background that is known to be the Y generation overall; but markets the iPod to all ages and cultural backgrounds. The Y generation is any person that is born after the year 1983. [1] Generation Y was the first to grow up with computers in their homes and they used technology at higher rates than people from other generations. In Steve Jobs presentation he went back to the start of the CD player, then proceeded to explain the other music options that were available. Generation Y has been through all of the music options he discussed, since they were the generation to want all of that new technology at the time it became available. Although generation Y may understand the extensive information Steve has presented in his presentation, Steve discuss how you can [2] “take the iPod biking, mountain climbing, etc…”this exemplifies the fact that the iPod is suitable for all ages and cultural backgrounds no matter what kind of music you enjoy. Being a generation Y baby, I have seen the evolvement of music since the start of the CD player when it came out, to the now latest iPod music technology. I have come to this conclusion that the age and socio-cultural background is not specific to the iPod brand, Steve wants the iPod to cater to all people who would want their product.
Steve Jobs did a great job using Aristotle’s logos in his presentation. He had plethora research in his presentation that went from what technology music devices available prior to the iPod, how much music space those devices hold, and the cost of music broken down based on what electronic device was available. As the presentation develops Steve Jobs is exemplifying logos of the development of the iPod. Aristotle’s Ethos is exemplified in Steve Jobs presentation

    After the release date of the IPod, November 10, 2001, listening to your favorite music became easier than ever before. The main goal Apple was shooting for when creating the personal digital device was to create an extremely simple user interface and sleek design many users would appreciate. Many people who were walking around with a Walkman, or seemed uninterested in owning a digital MP3 device now own an IPod. The product line has grown so large that businesses and educational institutions accept it as a useful tool. For example, a college student is now able to simply download a lecture or audiobook from iTunes University straight to the device within minutes, making it extremely convenient to study effectively on a busy day.…

    News of a tragedy quickly spreads through towns and cities where such events take place. Often they can spread to a larger audience to encompass a whole state or country surrounding the incident. However, every once in a while there is the one headline that grabs the attention of the entire world. This is no more evident than the San Jose mine collapse in the Atacama region of Chile back on August 5, 2010. Although many accidents and deaths happen in the mining industry each year worldwide, the United States recorded about 12,000 injuries and deaths for 2006-2007 according the United States Department of Labor (n.d.), none in recent memory had gathered so much attention as did the collapse mine in the northern parts of Chile that trapped 33 miners riveted a world.…

    Before one decides to communicate information to the public, it is important to note that in today’s world of communication the general public no longer exists. The communication releases should be audience targeted; the key strategy is to identify the audience, their roles and needs, and how the message is to be delivered to achieve the intended purpose (Tennyson & Ray, 2005).…

    The news of any tragedy can quickly spread through towns and cities close to the area where it happened, and it can also spread to other states and possibly the whole country depending on the severity of the tragedy. There is always one headline that attracts the attention of the whole country and possibly other countries and when it does knowing the specific audience can help the delivery of how a message is sent and received. One headline that caught everyone’s attention including myself was the tornado that ripped through Moore, Oklahoma that killed dozens of people and destroying homes and businesses on May 20, 2013. There had been other tornadoes and other natural disasters in other areas but the damage and the deaths of many people interested the audience. When a large audience as big as the United States is front and center to this type of situation, the type of method used for delivering information is different from presenting information to a small city or town and the friends and family members that are involved in the incident. The nature of the information must be held with caution when expressed from a political and professional stand point. Communicating to the world as a whole, the audience looks back at not only the Oklahoma government but how the United States government handled the situation as well. No one wants to look bad to the world audience for sending out the wrong message or lying about what has happened so a lot of consideration has to be put into how a message is carefully delivered in the world public.…

    The expected growth of the aging population in Louisiana is expected to grow and will have a tremendous impact on our healthcare system in the years to come. In the past, the increased growth of the aging population was not a problem. Presently it is becoming a problem. One major impact is the need for health care workers. Healthcare workers are decreasing because physicians and other health care workers are retiring. When people get older, they also need more healthcare services. The demand for healthcare services is growing because of the older adult population. Baby boomers from years ago are growing and maturing. In the meantime, fertility rates are declining. This is what is leading to the increased aging population in Louisiana. The aging population is living longer because of new technologies extending their years. Demographics are constantly changing and so are healthcare costs in result. The government is implementing plans to tackle the problems associated with the aging population. It is not an easy task. It is very challenging and difficult to implement successful changes.

    In your article you stated an array of facts, which are untrue and rather biased. You said, “You have bought a pretty box that plays music”.

The iPods offer a range of activities, which can benefit many.
