From the moment
you wake you to the moment you hit the sheets, your brain absorbs useless
information like a sponge; such as advertisements. Ads are everywhere you look.
Can’t see? There on the radio so you won’t have to. In today’s world everyday
things include ads. Ads can be spotted in areas from city to open land.
According to Hype by Kalle Lasn one won’t be able to rest your eyes without a
product logo. The author also mentions how you can’t escape from ads, no matter
how you try to avoid them.
I agree that the spread of advertisement has increased rapidly
over time.
When I think back some
years back, being in a car as a child I never sat still. Ill see billboard
after billboard. Every time I looked out the back window to see what on the
other side they’ll be nothing but the metal frame, and the two legs that hold
it up. One sided billboards where common to see here and there. When
I do this in today’s world, there’s an advertisement on the other side as well.
These billboards upgraded through a couple of years from single side
advertisement to double sided ones.
Just
about everything’s that’s free has many advertisements compared to ones things
that you pay for. Streaming websites for example, compare Hulu Plus and regular
Hulu. Hulu is free to anyone who enjoys watching there shows online, mean while
your watching your show/movie you’ll have a random 30 seconds to a 90 second
advertisement. When having Hulu Plus they’re advertisements and on top of that
one has the opportunity to watch episodes that Hulu people are not able to
watch.
The only reason
the free things in life come with advertisements is because the companies pay
for the propaganda so you won’t have to but while they do that your busy
getting entertained and persuaded to buying these items.
