"I'm a big fan of Netflix. It lets you watch different movies and shows whenever you want to watch them," Sharon Lin, 18, said.

Blizzard Entertainment — The California-based video game developer and publisher known for its "World of Warcraft" franchise

"My friends and I get addicted to their games and entrenched in the storylines. We really enjoy that," Christian Parker, 18, said.

SpaceX — The aerospace company that designs, manufactures, and launches advanced rockets

"I love seeing private companies prove that businesses can better not only themselves, but also humankind. Space transportation and the colonization of Mars are two examples of enterprises that can make a profit and advance our species," Tadhg Larabee, 17, said.

"I think space exploration is a fascinating industry with enormous potential in the long run future ... SpaceX does a great job of looking for innovations on ways to cut costs for space exploration and isn't afraid to set high goals such as their goal to land people on Mars," Matthew Fredricks, 18, said.

Supreme — The streetwear clothing brand known for its caps, sweatshirts, and cult-like following

"I think [Supreme] represents my own personality and style well. High fashion has never really been my thing, like Gucci or Prada. When I think about what kind of style I like or would participate in, I really like streetwear. Casual high fashion is probably the best way to put it," Kai Morton, 18, said.

Hyperloop One — The company that's trying to create a hyper-fast, pneumatic tube transportation system

"I think the Hyperloop is cool, because it would reduce accidents. A lot of people are also upset with the way airplanes are, like with the security, and some people are afraid of flying. The Hyperloop could ease anxiety, and I think that'll improve the country, because people will be able to start going where they want to go," Owen Grosserode, 14, said.

Amazon — The online retailer and cloud computing company that delivers products to your doorstep

"It's so convenient, and you can get anything you want in two days," Joseph Touma, 19, said.

THINX — The feminine hygiene company that makes innovative undergarments

 "They're a feminist and trans-inclusive company that I support and that also has cool advertisements on the subway," Milo Stewart, 19, said.

Spotify — The digital music behemoth that lets users stream millions of songs

"My favorite app to use is Spotify, because it allows me to listen to all of my favorite music at any time I want. I purchased Spotify Premium for the summer, and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made," Matthew Fredricks, 18, said.

Apple — The tech giant known for its phones, tablets, and computers

"Nearly all my friends have an iPhone, which is a product truly a lot of my friends appreciate ... Apple also does a good job at making things accessible to everyone. It's great to have such advanced technology in the palm of your hands," Joseph Touma, 19, said.

"Apple is a really big company that all my friends use. We all have Macs, iPads, and iPhones. Every time a new one comes out, it's like all they talk about. I have a problem with [the fact that] child workers have [helped] make these products, though," Khadija Rahman, 16, said.
