The half of us decided to go to the movie after a very exhausting week, TGIF. We don’t know what’s the sudden occasion, but this week all of our clients seemed in a hyper rush mode.
Oh well, let’s not talked about that. I’d like to share this interesting sight that caught my eyes during our dinner at Senayan City’s food court, right before our weekly dose of Sour Sally and the movie - We watched “Knowing” by the way.
So, we had a table in front of one of the ISP demo booth, where they placed three laptops that are connected to their internet service. They were selling the portable modem. What’s really interesting was, there were three kids (about 8 to 10 y.o.) hopped in to the station, checking their email and start making their Facebook account - the real Facebook not the one for kids. Here’s the video capturing the scenery, please ignore my conversation with the sales girl (she wasn’t hot), but I had to camouflage my intention to capture this moment as the kids’ parents were there approaching.
Was I behind the trend, to found this occuring event shockingly interesting? We love Facebook, it has proven its powerfulness in our latest campaign production for the niche female teen segment, the Queen Bee Hunt. Up until now we never recommended Facebook to reach younger audience (below 16 y.o.). But seeing this event makes me thinks that it’s just a matter of time before we could utilize Facebook to evoke younger audience.

The problem is, they’ve been posting pictures of themselves and accepting random friend requests, obviously they aren’t very aware for the danger of the internet, and that whatever they’re posting might resurface years later. I do hope FB would start to impose better filtering system or start assigning rating option for contents, since I’m aware things that I share aren’t very appropriate for them sometimes (and at the same time I don’t want my freedom to share contents with people of my age to be taken away).
