PSA Plan

My patner and I started our PSA "rough draft" meaning that we started planning and discussing how, when, and where we were gona start shooting the video. Since the video is due in two weeks, that does not give us much time to do the video we originally wanted to do, so we had to make some changes that will work with out busy schedules.
What my partner and I planned for next week is to actually start shooting the video during our free time and after school. Our goal is to record what it is planned in a week, that way we will have the rest of the following week to edit the movie on imovie.

For the criterion F I would give myself a 4-5 because I have been doing all my work, but lately I have been falling behind on my work and having to turn it in late which is not like me. I will have to start working on that so i can get on task as before.

Research- Day 3

Source 1


School children are taught how to access the Internet, but so are patrons of libraries, community centers, and senior citizen centers. Readily available Internet access has opened the door wide for the world of e-commerce.


Research by Jupiter Media Metrix showed that 13.4 million households banked online from July 2000 to July 2001, a 77.6 percent increase in one year alone. In late 2001 Jupiter predicted online sales would reach $104 billion in 2005.


An important difference between traditional business and e-commerce is the elimination of the middleman, known as disintermediation . Businesses and consumers can communicate directly to carry out transactions, which can help entrepreneurs market their products or services without the cost of salespeople or product representatives.


Some key terms to Digital Commerce: Shopping Cart, Security (SSL), Micropayments, and Electronic Wallets.

Continued convenience and a clearer understanding of usage terms are expected to increase sales of gift cards by nearly $14 bln over the next five years, according to Packaged Facts. Gift cards, which lead the closed-loop segment of the $81 bln prepaid card market, have been gaining credit since 2002. Then, gift cards were categorized in the catch-all “other” category of in-store payments. In 2003, however, they became their own line item on the survey, accounting for 2% of all sales, a number that doubled in 2005. Nearly 35% of consumers who purchased gift cards in the last 12 months anticipate spending more on gift cards during the next 12 months, with 9.1% expecting to spend “significantly more.”
