Messaging meltdown

Coping with infoglut

I would like to start by talking about the disadvantages of information overload, the effects are terrifying; mental disorder, fatigue and stress. The infoglut affect especially to senior-level executives.

The excesive quantity of information could be counterproductive due to the people confuse with the phone, fax, email, letters, cell phone and others.

On the other hand the people can get information in the exact moment, without the technology We couldn't communicate around the world and it would be very difficult to access to company information. I think that there are many form of communication where you can send and receive information inmediatily.

For example: email is faster, is ea

sy to use and is cheaper than other means of communication.

FAIR TRADES

OF CELEBRITIES, CHARITY AND TRADE

In my opinion the text is very interesting because show us that organizations and politicians pay to celebrities, so then they get an excellent image.

Many celebrities have charity´s foundations or Public Assistance and sometimes they adopt children, for example: Ricky Martin adopted a child, in the magazines or news we have seen and listened that He is altruist, loving, friendly and honorable; on the other hand in Internet was published: Ricky Martin is a sexual promiscuos and he raped two children; this news caused controversy around the world; even so the people buy his CD´s and go to the concerts.

Years ago Pepsi Cola increased their sales due to the advertisements where singers (Shakira, Britney Spears, Molotov and Ricky Martin) promoted the product. For this reason the company was very succesful in that moment.

I think that many organizations, celebrities and politicians need to create attention for become famous people and they know that will can get if the advertising media give good news about charity and Public Assistance in where they draw help and financial aid.
