Throughout our lives, we have all been faced with the inevitable rise of prices. As college students, it would seem strange if tuition actually didn't continue to elevate even though, I thought, you could not put a price on education but whatever. The point is that we, as Americans and as consumers, should be well-versed in the swindling of money as well as the want for the maker to continue to trick us. Advertisements are large and flashy. This has been the ploy of a salesman for decades. Why on earth would it change now? We see the internet as an unbiased tool. As an instrument built exclusively with our needs in mind. This does not change the fact, however, that the internet is product for consumers. It is a place where one can purchase anything their hearts desire. How, then, can a person justify ignorance in not knowing that the prices change and that the accounts double? I am not saying that people are stupid but if they are not aware of the fact that plane prices get pushed up through online tracking or if they think too highly of the internet without doing research for the best deal then they are responsible for their own education. Sales have not changed. The only shift has been in the medium. If anything, people need to be more aware of this then in the past since the purchase of an online product is just a few simple numbers. Do the background work. Don't be lazy. And above all, don't assume that technology is the answer to everything. It remains the same.
