Engaging Time Articles, Never Would Have Known From Cover Lines

"The Sounds That Lure Us in"
Originally uploaded by Marisa Sanfilippo

Upon receiving and flipping through my new issue of Time Magazine dated March 1, 2010, I was immediately immersed with its content. Had I not subscribed to the publication, it's an unlikely shame that I probably would have never opened it since its cover lines did not convey anything I would be remotely interested in.

When I first opened the issue, I of course flipped to the back in search of Joel Stein's "Awesome Column." Another awesome article, indeed. Stein discussed genealogy as he discussed it with Friends' star, Lisa Kudrow. I call it - food for thought. Although reluctant to care about what his great-great-great-grandfather did, Stein opens eyes to why genealogy is noteworthy after all. Another article I thought was interesting and could be appreciated by my generation was the Life article about Marketing. "Neural advertisers are planning a stealth attack - on your ears." Journalist Jefferey Kluger discussed how sound draws us in and how marketers are planing on taking advantage of this by adding subtle sound to advertising.

WP7

And, although I hate to see a cool gadget that isn't Apple, in a different article Peter Ha explained how the new Microsoft Smart Phone may just give competitors a run for their money. While it doesn't have the not so fancy apple trademark on the back, the WP7 looks promising.

Cool fact from this issue: 97 Million people = number of U.S viewers who watched the first two days of the Winter Olympics.
