It is impossible to get away from advertising. It is everywhere: there are commercials on TV, posters on trains and buses, free newspapers in our mailboxes, and pop-up advertisements on the Internet. The advertising industry is sure to get their messages across to its target audience one way or another. Some advertisements can be informative and useful; they educate people about new developments in medicine and technology. However, most of them are no more than a waste of time, energy, and money. Personally, I find advertisements intrusive and irritating. I think I know what I need and what I want. I don’t have to be told what to buy and what to wear. I often wish there were fewer advertisements in our everyday life.
