I agree with "pain of payment"will reduce unnecessary shopping.
When we make a payment with a card, just enter the pin of sign the name. This process is going fast, we do not have chance to make the last decision that it is really necessary for me. Sometimes, we even do not care about the value of what  we will buy. we miss the process of counting cash and handing over them. I can not feel pain of giveing amount of money out, except get a receipt with lot of small letters and numbers. We just see the number of the card balance have been change, we can not immage how much money the number what has been charge means.

too much texting is linked to other problem:

In this article "Too Much Texting Is Linked To Other Problem" the author explaines that excessive use of every thing is bad for our health and behavour. It becomes our addiction and then it becomes hard to leave it. Actually, miss use of everything directly effects on our unhealthy behavior like smolking, drinking, depression, gruges, alchohol and earting disorders.Too much texting and exxcessive hours on nestworking specially linked to obesity eating disorders, school absenteeism due to illness, lack of adequate sleep. These teenagers also are more likely to be stressed and to think about suicide. Using of networking all time leads to many disorder too.

Sometimes i also niticed that many students check their facebooks maore times whenever thay get time. Therefor, I strongly agree with the auther that too much of every thing id bad for our health and behaviour.

Assignement

I agree with the idea, that the advertisement are the most prevalent and toxic of the mental pollutants, but the coin has always two sides. There are so many advertisements everywhere you go, it follows us anywhere: at home,when you watch tv or listen the radio, in the streets on the billboard, in the bus, newspaper and many many more places. From getting so much of advertisement every day, our brain doesn't react to it any more, and it disturb us so much, that we trying to avoid  it, by changing the channel on tv or change the radio station. By doing so, we still cannot  completely remove the advertisement from our vision or  hearing, like it says  by the autor of  the statement: " I often used to hear Beethoven's Ninth Symphony play in my head,now I hear that kid singing the Oscar Meyer song". What does it mean? It means that our ears hear things,  that's doesn't  educate us, or give  us some good information, or may be motive us for something good, it full our brain with non useful information. Who needs advertisement? Now days many companies, who just stared their business or some trying to sell new products, need to advertise to be seen. It is a psychological thinking, that the more people see the more they know, the more they buy. There are some advertisements  that convince people to buy products that they want more then the things that they need. For example, fast food, many people know it is not good for the health, but the colorful advertisement on the screen and enticing words make them want to buy it, and advertisement like this are everywhere,  for different thinks and different stuff. They playing with peoples minds.  But there is a good side of advertisement too, especially if it is good product, that people really need in their use.  Good products  don't need much of the advertisement, people, after using them, will share the information, about quality, name and brand, so it will give more trust to it  for others, who wants to buy it. People need right advertisement, with helpful information or some sort of education in it. Advertisement is  the mirror of our society.
From the things that I see and notice, I have this story, that happened to my father and he doesn't believe in advertisement at all. One day, he felt this big bain in his back, and it didn't go away for a long time. He visited doctors and used all the medication he knew, but the pain still bothered him time to time. The advertisement, that he saw so many times on tv, was talking about just exact the same pain he had, and it also gave the information that were saying about magic release from that pain, by using  the product in this advertisement, he didn't believe in it, but after seeing so many times and being in pain, for the person who doesn't believe in advertisement, something convince him so much, and made believe to what this advertisement were saying, he bought it. But after some time, he was disappointed, it didn't help him to release the pain and made not to believe in commercials even more.
 As it says, coin always has two sides, there is  positive and negative aspects in many situations. Too much of something is not good in anything we do.
