Publicity influences and creates necessities in people to buy specific products, brands, or colors. The best consumers are children, who are constantly pressuring their parents to purchase trendy gadgets. In the following essay, I will explain social an economic implications about this trend.
First, children feel socially more accepted when they have new technology to show to their friends. For instance,new cellphones and ipads let them strength relations through social media such as Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. Every single activity is shared with their pairs in real time. As a result, they are more dependent to their friends' comments, and they have their own world in their devices. So, you can see a big group around a table but completely isolated and quiet.
Second, children are pushing their parents to acquire expensive technology and accessories. It is a continuous circle because when you buy one version a modern one is coming. People line up in Apple stores to buy cutting -edge technology; as a result, children accept that behavior as a normal part of life. They will be the future consumers and they will pay millions of dollars to have what they want.

In conclusion, publicity has a negative impact on children because it creates consumers who spend a lot of money to be accepted in society.

Second, children are pushing their parents to acquire consider using the word "purchase." It makes a little bit more sense in context. expensive technology and accessories.

Let me know if you have questions about my corrections. I put either a correction or a comment about your writing in red directly next to what the correction or comment is related to. Is Spanish your first language?
