Dietmar Dahmen's
presentation was very interesting. He entered the class room with a positive
aura and brought a lot of energy in the class room. To be honest, I had a long
night from my philosophy reading assignments and I expected a short
presentation. Dahmen’s personality kept me awake because of how he connected
towards the students. We were able to relate to things he said about nowism and
firstism. I agreed with him in many ways. For example firstism, everyone wants
to be first to get the new product. The first thing that came to mind was when
the iphone 4S came out last year. People would order the 4S before it came out.
The iphone 4 came out not that long ago and the only difference between the
iphones was Siri. Everyone went crazy and ordered the phones even though they
just got their new iphone 4. It was sold out instantly. This also leads to
where Dahmen talks about how technology has change over the years. The evolution
of phones has change. Before phones were for calling, but as years pass it has
been use for games, paying for bills, and even selling products. It has even
grown to the point where we do not need to text and now command our phones to
do things for us. (Siri)
As he continues, I thought
it was very interesting when he was talking about trust and use-vertising. I
actually laughed a bit because I was able to relate to this. I can’t help but
not use a product until I hear it from others. When I saw the slide of the
makeup guru from youtube, I couldn’t help but smile. I always watch makeup
guru’s reviews before I buy a product. I would not do much research when it
came to my favorite make up guru’s because I “trust” their opinion on the
product. Seeing a magazine ad would not make me want to buy the product
because I do not trust the ad, but hearing it from another person who has used
the product would gain my trust more than the ad from the magazine.
By the end of the class, I
did not know that class ended. I got caught into the presentation that I did
not check the time. Dahmen made me forget about my lack of energy from the
beginning of class. I learned a lot during the presentation and I wanted to
learn more.
