Pokemon Go: Affecting Business And Society
Pokémon Go
Pokémon Go is affecting business and society by, boosting sales and causing Radio Shack to go bankrupt. So all the businesses were very excited by the game because they were getting rich off of it. The business called Radio Shack was getting a lot of money off of Pokémon Go because everyone liked it so much. People bought accessories and products of Pokémon Go items which the money would go to these businesses AT&T and Game Stop and Radio Shack because of all these crazy fans wanting Pokémon cards or Pokémon items that are based off of Pokémon Go.
What I think about Pokémon Go is, that it can be fun I have tried it before myself and It can be fun but you can hit by cars because of this game. This game requires for you to go outside

    While many criticize Pokemon Go, claiming that it does not increase the attention to nature and historical/important locations, based on my own experiences, I can say the opposite. While at a summer camp, before Pokemon Go was launched, my daily routine was very limited and predictable, only travelling between my classes, the gym, the library and the dining hall. However, after Pokemon Go was released, I began to walk around more - often even walking miles to go to a nearby town and explore. This not only increased my physical activity, one of its objectives, but also created a reason for me to walk longer distances. In addition, while walking to these nearby towns, I wasn't merely staring at my phone like most people would think, but instead left it by my side, looking around at my surroundings and the different environments. Furthermore, the pokestops also sometimes contained a short description of the location or "object", allowing me to learn more about it. I even walked to a few parks throughout my summer camp. Moreover, Pokemon Go also created a sense of community at my summer camp. Whereas before, very small groups of people would occasionally walk to a nearby town, now much…

    Do smart phones hinder interaction with family? When is the right time to put down these electronics, and communicate with our loved ones? In earlier years stories were passed thru generations giving us amazing pieces of literature, such as Beowulf, The Iliad, and The Odyssey. Now days we cannot even put the phones down at the dinner table to tell our families how are days were. The trend of how American people communicate seems to show that most families communication may one day cease due to overabundent phone use. As a wise once man said “In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future.” (Haley) Meaning phones cannot teach us what is important, or tell us tales of previous generations within our family tree. Modern families tend be ignorant to their family’s heritage, commonalities, and even family traditions. Things seem to get lost in the barrier of technology; people can’t seem to put down these spectacular phones that have made great strides and advancements in recent years.…
