2041; The Futureeeeee

     Since I have trouble waking up, I have a bed that shakes and makes loud noises to wake me up. A robot will have my clothes ready and bring me my favorite breakfast, which is cereal and a protein drink. When I go to take a shower, my shower will have music and a television. I will ride to class on a jet-pack backpack that goes speeds up to 60 MPH, so I will get to class in about 5 seconds max. When I get to class, I will have my robot take my notes for me, while I browse the future version of Facebook. We will be learning about our future dictator and his life because we will be a communist society by then. From class to the dorm, some students take jets, but other students, like myself, take their jet-packs. I will be wearing metallic pants and a zebra print tank top that has a hologram of a unicorn on it. I will eat the same food that I do now, there will just be much more preservatives and artificial sweeteners. I will meet up with my friends at the Student Union, and our robots will hang out because they will be friends. When I go back to my dorm after classes, I will play virtual soccer on my Hologram PlayStation 21 that is hooked up to my 100 inch television, because big screens will be super cheap by then. When I am ready for bed, my robot will prepare my toothbrush for me, as well as my temperature-controlled pajamas. Then, I will go to bed, and my robot will tuck me in.

Food Advertisement

      Food Advertisements are crucial for a restaurant. Mc Donald's is one of the biggest franchises not just in the U.S. but the whole world. This fast food restaurant uses many techniques to attract and keep their customers coming back here. One of the strategies is their catchy jingle (DA-DA-DA-DA-DA I'M LOVIN' IT) as soon as you hear that sound you know its Mc Donald's. This restaurant has a great marketing plan and that is a fact. This company is the #1 restaurant franchise in the world with hundreds of thousands of locations around the world.

      Mc Donald's uses the color "red" because it is psychologically proven that red is the color of hunger. Even though this restaurant has a great demand, they have not raised their prices in more than 7 years which keeps people satisfied. Mc Donald's is known to be desperate for customers and they often offer more services for the same price. The "happy meal" is a great marketing idea to engage the customer in the restaurant, kids often ask their mothers for a happy meal and their main reason is for the toy. Kids also beg their moms to take them to Mc Donald's because it has a playground and it is a kid friendly type of restaurant. This restaurant has a lot of unhealthy food, yet they do offer a healthy menu for people that are concerned about their diet. The add above shows that for one burger you get plus 25 cents you get another one, this is very eye catchy and people take advantage of this types of sales. I personally admire Mc Donald's marketing strategy because it definitely engages the customer in the restaurant. Personally I think this restaurant just cares for the dollar sign and not people's health. The quality of food from this restaurant is awful, though it has the "healthiest" grease in comparison to Burger King and Wendy's. Like I said before Mc Donald's are desperate for customers and will do anything to keep customers in their business. I see it almost impossible for this franchise to go  bankrupt or simply end.



Environmental Footprint

     Would you like to live they way I do? Well, it would take 6.3 earths to provide enough resources to live the way I do. I have never given much thought to this until I completed the environmental footprint quiz. To support my lifestyle, it takes 27.9 global acres of the Earth's productive area.

     I am very impressed with this program and I am also shocked with my own results. I think everyone should be informed of this program to make people realize that we as a world need to conserve our planet. If all of us make the effort to use less resources, we could make the world a better place.

     One of the things that I could improve would be to start recycling and to use the public transportation. I usually drive around 350 miles a week, so I would need to stop driving as much. I never payed much attention to recycling, but now I understand that recycling is actually very important for our ecosystem. I am glad I did this quiz because it is more than just an assignment, it definitely opened my eyes on how much I could help the world's environment by just changing some of my personal habits.

It's Nikoooooooooo :D

Hello, my name is Ezequiel Nicolas Rubio, my friends and family call me "Niko". I was born and raised in Quitl, Ecuador. I lived there for fourteen years and I came to the United States on November 19, 2005. I spent my whole life attending private schools to learn the English language. The first school I attended here was Cape Coral High School and I achieved a grade point average of a 3.8 throughout my four years. I was very committed to school, work, and graduated with honors. When I was freshman, I was one of the very few people to be selected for the varsity soccer team and was an active starter for the team. During my sophomore year, we took home the county championship title and my senior year we took the state championship tittle. I received the MVP award and was interviewed by top sports reporting stations such as ESPN and CBS Sports. I have been working at a Research and Strategy facility called Abt SRBI for six months and was promoted four times already. I consider myself as a multitasking student because of my current involvement here at FGCU, and also my position at the research and strategy facility. I am currently balancing my time as a full time student, and as an employee for the company. I stay at North Lake Village with three awesome and helping roommates. I consider them as members of my family. In order to get to work, I drive my Cadillac there every morning. I have been saving up for some time now and finally reached my goal of being a proud Cadillac owner. I am currently single right now because of my recent break-up, and I don't plan on seeing anyone soon due to the fact that it would be an inconvenience at the moment. I'm pretty busy at the moment and it would be unfair to put that on someone right now. My favorite subject is math and my favorite class so far is actually Composition I. The professor does a really good job of being a proper instructor and a well liked individual. I like to work out a lot and if anyone would like to join me, my work out schedule is Monday through Friday in the afternoons. I work out at the school gym every one of those days. On a side note, I love partying and going to the beach as well. Hope you guys found myself as an interesting guy and I'm looking forward to meeting all of you personally. Everyone seems like a nice group of international students from all over the globe.
