This week I heard many interesting conversations, most of which had to do with hope and or lack of hope for our nation. There are so many violent acts occurring across the globe daily. No wonder it feels as though there is a desperation for change unlike any other time in history. On Sunday, my Pastor spoke on “Why Is America So Violent Now?” It was honestly the best message I have ever heard him preach and he always delivers a phenomenal Word from God.

Literally, it is all I see on Facebook. Almost every other post is about Pokemon from friends that that I follow or a large content brand, like Buzzfeed. One of my friends wrote, “I have been sitting at this random park for an hour trying to find this Pokemon, something is wrong with me.” (Aguilar, 2016). Another friend wrote, “OMG I can’t believe we get to relive our childhood, this was my obsession as a kid!” (Chin, 2016). A friend a work showed me this website in which you can pay people to go find Pokemon for you while you are at work. Real Life. I was at Target on Tuesday, and I saw a group of 5-6 people stand outside of the building, faces glued to screen, slowing moving the phones through the air as if their cellular devices were mental detectors screening the sand. Personally, I think its safe to say America is obsessed with Pokemon.
“Nintendo Stock Skyrockets With The Release of Pokemon Go”
Dan, a coworker of mine asked me on Friday morning, “Have you checked Nintendo’s stock?!” I said, “No, but I bet it ridiculous high now isn’t it?” He said, “Yes! It’s up almost 10%” I googled it for myself and sure enough, Nintendo Co., Ltd stock is up 9.80%! The mobile game has increased their overall stock by 30% and "added $9 billion to the company’s value" in a matter of a few days. The results are shocking and had me wishing I created the game myself. http://amigobulls.com/articles/pokemon-go-boosts-nintendo-stock-alphabet-stock-to-benefit
