PSA
A Public Service Announcement is not a Commercial Ad., rather it is a message to educate or influence viewers about a particular behavior. This assignment challenged writers to use creativity to explore how technology influences a particular literacy.
The topic that my group chose to analyze was Drunk Texting; particularly within the college setting since college students were going to comprise our audience. Many times, individuals do not think before they text when they are intoxicated, and may accidently dial the wrong number, or say something completely inappropriate, that they would not say in a normal circumstance. We are not, however, providing ways to prevent drunk texting, rather we are raising awareness about the consequences.
I completed this project with group members Nick, Olivia and Karie.
