Do As Told

Psychology | January 26th, 2008

I was in the local Micro Center today buying a keyboard. As I made the purchase the young guy at the counter asked me for my email for my $49 purchase. I said “no” bluntly. I then asked him what percentage of people actually give their email. He livened up and said, “Oh last night we were at 71%.” How did we as a society become so easily manipulated? What are the larger ramifications?

What do you think?
