focus group

On this last Tuesday, December 1, my friend invited me and 3 others to do a focus group in San Francisco. For people that don’t know what a focus group is, it is like a survey for a company so they can do research and improve their company and what not. When we were at the place waiting to go in we were offered drinks and snacks. I had a Dr. pepper. One we were in side we were in a very open room with a bright colored stylish couch a table and a seat for the lady to talk to us. We were introduced to the lady that was interviewing us, and we sat down.
　
The main thing that they were interviewing us about was on ways that people communicate, mainly teenagers and adults. They asked us about how we would communicate, what would we do if face book stopped working, if texting would also stop. I would personally freak out if texting just stopped but I would live. Then the lady told us to write down the most common ways we us to communicate. I chose: texting, calling, face book, and myspace and aiming. (or AOL instant messaging) then the lady gave us various situations that we would need to communicate. Situations like: if we had something important to tell a friend, if we had to tell a relative something and other situations like that. Then she asked us why we chose it and what would be the next source we would use if we didn’t have the one we choose. We had to do a lot of explaining and analyzing when we had something to say. The weirdest part of the whole thing was when the lady told us that the mirror behind her was actually a one way mirror. When she told us we couldn’t stop looking at it. The best part of the whole thing was at the end each one of got $85 each. I would defiantly do it again.
