Week 9 EOC: For those who think young

It's always ironic about thinking young or wanting to be young as adults because the youth of today want to and try to if they can grow up faster then their supposed to. The youth of today want nothing more then what adults have and want to do what adults get to experience.  While adults who have lived their youth want nothing but to go back, even if it costs them surgery or millions of dollars just to look young.  The only reason I can think of for an adult to be young again is because they miss the life with no worries or no responsibilities attached to their lives.  They see the mind of the youth as something fresh and creative when really in my opinion our minds have not reached its full potential of creativity because we have not been able to experience a lot of things that adults have which shape the way we think. There is a lot of concern for the youth because we are considered as the future, but most youth may not even care about the future and only strive to live for today.  In advertising, youthful products are seen as fun and impulsive, characteristics adults may have lost because of all the everyday life that sits on their shoulders.  Adults may want the way of thinking that the youth has because of their target market, advertisers may want to relate and focus on what the youth of today wants and what's in for them, or what the latest fad is.  In our country, although the youth are considered the future, they don't even bother to vote or care for politics because none of it matters or makes sense to us.  Advertisers may aim their commercials at the youth because of the influence they have on their parents or their peers, which spreads fast especially because of today's technology as well.  In my opinion is was the adults who came up with some of the basic inventions that we have today such as cars and telephones which we tweeked or made something modeled after that.  It is always said that the older you are the wiser you get and that’s because of what you experience so there's nothing really special about being young to young person.
