In the article, “Hype” the author
explains that nowadays people can find advertisements everywhere at any given
time. The author said this because commercial advertisements have increased in
a big way without people noticing. The author concludes by saying that there is
no way to run from these advertisements. After reading this article, I
completely agree with the author that there is too much advertisement and it’s
almost impossible not to come across one.
To
begin, I believe that advertisements have gotten a little out of hand because
there isn’t a day when you’re not going to see one. As the article states, “no
longer are ads confined to the usual places” buses, bill boards, stadiums”. For
instance, when I’m on Facebook or watching videos online there seem to always
be an ad. And especially when you’re watching YouTube videos, I hate when ads
appear and you are forced to watch the whole thing in order to continue to your
video. To me, this show that there are just too many ads even when you are trying
to enjoy a music videos these ads would pop up and annoy any one.
Further
more, I believe that ads can influence people to spend lots of money. According
to the article, “kids watch Pepsi and snickers ads in classroom” It shows how kids
are being targeted by ads when they offer toys in kid’s meal. It said that kids
start to nag their parents until they convince them to buy them a kid’s meals.
Ads target children because they know that kids can persuade their parents to
buy them anything they want. In brief, this shows that ads can have an
influence in what consumers buy and that they know how to get people to buy these
things.
In
conclusion, advertisements are found everywhere from TV commercials to the tedious
internet pop ups, to the streets and they’re never going to go away. Everywhere
we look we are coming across some type of ad targeting people from any age to
try and force us to buy their product and the only thing we could do is to ignore
most of them.
