In my eyes, this foreigner is of middle eastern descent, because I came up with this product based off my family, who all happen to be of middle eastern descent. My prototypical customer works long hours either in school or in his job and doesn't have that much time to do any activities of leisure. This is based off my dad coming to America to study law school. Because of this, I don't think my prototypical customer has enough time to do any activities that he/she likes. I also believe that my prototypical customer drives a fuel-efficient car to help the environment.

Families usually are the ones that find themselves with the most technology, and the younger generations are usually the ones that know more about technology ...
