Persuader Questions

Question 2:

The amount of advertising in our world today is an alarming amount. Because of all the mediums and technologies we are exposed to constantly, there are constant places for advertisements and times for us to see them. I don't think it should be considered "too much" advertising, because I'm not particularly sure there is such a thing. As for children there may be overwhelming amounts, but in regards to adults, advertising is what fuels our economy. It creates awareness of products and creates jobs, and when people have more money, they spend more money, and this circle continues because of advertising. 20-30 years ago advertising was different because of the technology. There wasn't as many mediums and places for advertisers to constantly get to people. Internet and super phones didn't exist yet, email wasn't as popular, and computers weren't a common medium to be found everywhere as they are today.

Question 4:
I think the future of advertising will continue to get more and more advanced with technologies, and more and more competitive. Cameras and mediums are being used to study the demographics walking by a bill board to put out an ad best suited for those people. 3D graphics, and more pleasing to the eye technologies will aid in the attatchment and advances to advertising people have. Future persuaders will use all these things to make ads more inviting to the people of the times.
