EOC Week 2 – My Demographic

I am a member of “Generation X” although I was born on the last year of that generation. For this reason, I find that I can relate to a lot of the attributes associated with people from “Generation Y” as well. Starting with my own generation, I would definitely agree with the idea that we were the first generation that was bombarded with new media and technology. I remember having an Atari computer when it was unusual for people to have computers. I remember my older brother spending an obscene amount of money to use the internet back then, and you would pay like a long distance call per minute. I remember when laser tag 1st was invented and was the most amazing idea at the time. Then again VCRs were new when I was a child. I also can agree with the notion that people from my generation are at a point in life where we tend to spend less money than we had through our twenties. We have hit the age where we have started to eliminate a lot of frivolous spending and are more inclined to purchase necessities. I also do feel that I have some things in common with “Generation Y”. For instance I definitely grew up with the internet and 24 hour cable programming, and feel I have so called “street smarts”. I also grew up in a very ethnically diverse surrounding, and I have never felt a prejudice toward any certain group.

EOC Week 2 - My Favorite Fast Food

My favorite fast food restaurant growing up had to be White Castle. 1st off, White Castle burgers are one of a kind. 2ndly, they carried these fish sandwiches that you couldn’t get anywhere else. 3rd, even though the burgers and sandwiches were very small, they were so cheap you could order bags full of them. And the best thing was the fact they were the only fast food spot that stayed open till after midnight back then.
