Response to TED Vide (More Flash)

The ideas expressed in this TED video really challenge how society constitutes value. He references Andy Warhol and Coca Cola. Warhol says that he loves Coca-Cola because one can attain the same quality of the product regardless of social class. This means that a real successful product should be versatile and be attainable to all walks of life. The speaker on the video also goes on to acknowledge how products are presented. The slightest change in a product can work for or against the product. Example: Shredded Diamond Wheaties. He also talks about the lack of correlation between quality and enjoyment. People just tend to enjoy things more when they are aware of how expensive something is i.e celebrities, sports stars etc. This is a way to learn how to market ones art in the real world.
