This quick video is an introduction to an app that a doctor decided to create after frequent E.R. visits from people who were in accidents from cell phone usage while driving. The app turns on when the users phone moves faster then 15 MPH and will then lock out all texts and phone calls. One down fall, works even if you passenger....the app doesn't know that your driving.

How do you feel about this app and where could it be implemented?

There are also other factors which influence why people buy, what others could be included besides appearance?

Consumers are drawn to name brands, mainly because of how advertising portrays people who use or wear their product. I work retail and often I will hear parents explain how they will only get Under Armour because their kids wont wear anything else. Has advertising changed the way children socialize?
