-Krist Novoselic
Good morning peace and all good! One with You!
I am Mrs. Laribelle C. Ramos your TRENDS, NETWORKS, AND CRITICAL THINKING IN THE
21ST CENTURY Teacher.
People of today’s generations are familiar with the term trend through the popular social media
application, such as, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Based on usage, a particular hashtag is trending when it
is frequently shared and/or popularly talked about by other Twitter users. In this sense, trending may be
understood to mean popular. From this, one can infer that a trend is something that is famous or widely known.
However, the actual definition of trend is not even nearly associated with popular. In this lesson, the concept
about trend will be discussed to improve your understanding in our 21st century society.
Let us start your journey in learning more on Trends and Fads. Smile and Cheer Up!

C. Lesson Presentation (PowerPoint presentation)

LESSON: FADS
(Product Life Cycle)

FADS
 It is seemingly drastic swings in mass behavior without obvious external stimuli. Fads are something
that people are highly interested in for a relatively short period of time.
 A fad is often used interchangeably with the word trend. Although a fad is short-lived, what is important
to know is that fads can
help predict trends.
 Karl and Sharpio (1985)
described it according to
the theory of network
externalities, where the
utility of a product
increases when more
people use it. Life cycles
of a regular product
consists of four stages.
Introduction: The product is
introduced to the market; sales are
still low and
market share is still insignificant.
Growth Stage: The product is
steadily rise and a significant
market share is
achieved.
Maturity Stage: The producers
aim to keep the market share
through
innovations.
Decline: The market may dwindle
due to competition or lack of innovation.
