In a two-post series, Breakaway’s Melissa Cusack explores the pros and cons of online shopping.
Living in New York City, I always look for a good bargain or ways to save time. Since groceries are so expensive—and getting around the city is sometimes easier said than done—I need solutions that help me save time while also leaving something in the piggybank. One of the ways I’ve been able to do this is online shopping, which has undoubtedly changed the way consumers – myself included - make purchases.
Cool new concept car…check! Thirty-five media appointments…check! A CNET Best of CES Award…check! To sum it up, it was a fabulous CES for our client, QNX Software Systems.
ACR, DAI and EBIF, oh my! Those aren’t just acronyms; they’re the technologies that are driving the future of interactive television and were the focus of Interactive TV Today’s (itvt) recent TV of Tomorrow (TVOT) NYC Intensive. Aptly named, the conference was an “intense” version of the annual three-day TVOT show that’s held in San Francisco.

Santa Clara University is a small community which many consider a bubble from the outside world. I was able to call it home for four years and enjoyed every minute of it. Since graduating in June 2010, I have only been back a handful of times for alumni events or to see campus renovations. It’s still odd to go back, especially when none of my friends are there. In my return visits, everything looks the same, but is somehow different. As a student, I could never see myself as a real person in the workforce. It just seemed so adult and in the future. While I knew graduation was inevitable, my main goal was to complete my assignments to the best of my ability and also have some fun in the process. Never in my wildest dreams could I imagine that I would be a guest speaker in one of my old classes, at least not until I attended a couple of reunions!
