But marketing is much more than selling and advertising. How Marketing Relates to Production Production is a very important economic activity. Whether for lack of skill and resources or just lack of time, most people don’t make most of the products they use. Although production is a necessary economic activity, some people overrate itsimportance in relation to marketing. Their attitude is reflected in the old saying:“Make a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door.” In otherwords, they think that if you just have a good product, your business will be a success. The point is that production and marketing are both important parts of a total business system aimed at providing consumers with need- satisfying goods and services.

...other hand, Betel nut trees are abundant in our country since it is commonly found in tropical countries. The Betel nut itself has many uses. They are usually chewed with betel leaf for their effects as a mild stimulant, causing a warming sensation in the body and slightly heightened alertness, although the effects vary from person to person. The researchers thought of using the betel nut husks as source of fabrics for cloth since only the nuts and leaf are used for chewing; in which Filipinos call it mamâ. With this, the husk will also be significant, not just its nuts and leaf. Also, the betel nut husk is fibrous, wherein it is one of the criteria in making fabrics for cloth thus making the cloth more durable. This will also be the future of our indigenous textile weaving industry, instead of synthetic threads. Not only the Musa textilis (abaca) is to be used in making fabrics for cloth but Betel nut husks can also serve as an alternative source. The Betel nut itself has many uses.

...The gadgets are very useful, they help us connect to each other, they make us learn new things and discover new things. The reason why computer technologies are invented is to help make people’s life easier and to improve their way of life, especially the students. Modern computer technologies make studying easier and fun to the students. As long as students don’t become fanatics when it comes to gadgets, we don’t think that they could have a bad influence or a bad effect on students. The gadgets make our life better in many ways. Let’s take for example the cell phone, many of you are “lost” without it and when it comes to students this device is more than just a cell phone, is a chat opportunity, an Internet connection, a camera and more. Because mobile phones have today a lot of features and they are not just devices made for communication between people. A negative effect of these gadgets on students can be the fact that they can become obsessive and the students can neglect everything else, like their social life, their family and friends. Is not a bad thing to have a computer, but is a bad thing to spend all your life in front of it pretending that everything else doesn’t exist. Otherwise, most gadgets have positive effects because they enable us to do things faster and easier and they are also good when it comes to learning new things and, let’s face it, they make our life a lot easier.
