invitation: consumer electronics & advertising

Hello there. My name is Ellen and I'm hoping to find a few people between the ages of 16-20 who are willing to teach me and my employer about how you use technology to feel at home, i.e., do you carry music with you everywhere? If so, how? What are the best products to make this happen?
Here's a little background: We (Fallon) are an advertising agency (did you see the BMW films online?) and we are trying to win more business from an existing client (a global consumer electronics brand) Our goal is to start a longer-term conversation about technology, consumer electronics and feeling at home.
This is a global project - I'd like to hear from people everywhere HOWEVER I'm really, really, really interested in talking to people from Russia, Hungary, Japan, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore and Germany as soon as I can.
Please check out my bio to learn more about me, about Fallon, about our connection to TIG and/or how to get in touch with me. A respectful thank you for your time.

Don't youth usually get paid for advice like this? I love how adults say they value youth opinions when really they're making millions of bucks off us and we get a free bag of chips or some other silly marketing ploy. Did you know that their are youth marketing firms that publish reports on youth style? They interview youth about what they like and then publish it in a book every year. My friend works for a fashion designer who was considering buying it, then she found out it was $20,000 a year! I hate when corporations comodify youth culture.... hiphop, raves, punk rock, etc. You know that when you see it on T.V. it's usually been sucked dead of all of its meaning.
HipHop once was a revolutionary force. It still is, but those tracks just don't get played anymore. It's all about the bling bling nowadays. Same with raves... underground parties where youth from all over would forget their petty battles and just dance together. In Ireland some of the only times protistant and catholic youth would get together was when they're all high on whatever and partying in some abandoned wearhouse. Don't get me started on punk...
Thanks for stealing our cultures and selling us shit that we don't need!
