I realize that I should have completed this for my WP#1, that this is the kind of research plan that I should have completed for it. It's my fault for not doing this part of the reading before completing my writing assignment. Still, I can use it to help me for the rest of the project.
1. Types of data I need to collect include: brief history of hot products, good examples of current hits, things people have stood in line for, then I need information on psychology, what doctors have said drives people to need to buy the latest gadget. Surveys or studies would be helpful here.
2. The library's database hasn't been helpful at all. I've used Google and Yahoo for stories about hit products, since they track mainstream stories, and lines for the Wii and iPhone have been well covered. I've looked for psychology study databases without any luck, but that's where I'd hope to find studies about consumerism.
3. Chunks and deadlines: the "hot gadgets" should be the easiest. I hope to find all of those by tonight, July 16th. I'm giving myself through the end of the weekend to find the psychology ones because they are the hardest to find. If anyone has any suggestions i would welcome those.

I also did not do this. I think I will do okay without it though (hopefully).Sorry this comment is of no help.
I too found the reading assignments more helpful after the previous assignment a few times. All in all though I think it will help to refine our final papers and that is all that matters in the end.
