Blog1 the "hype" essay

Advertisements are the most common way to sell any new product on the market. Within the past couple of years, numerous company's have found different ways to advertise their products. Examples of this would be the everyday estimated 12billion display ads, radio commercials, tv commercials, or flyers that may be sent out.

When walking into a department store such as JcPenny, Walmart, or Target, you always notice that either a floor display or computerized image is always displayed for viewing.

In Addition, Radio personal advertises about 3 million commercials a day. Many companies will advertise on the radio because about 65% of the people either are listening to the radio while driving, exercising, or in the comfort of their home.

In our economy nowadays, everything is either digitized or computerized. So my opinion is within the next few years, the majority of everyday essentials that we use will be way more advanced due to the advertising we use today or will use in the future.

    Maybe one way to fix that is to summarize the author's ideas in one paragraph at the beginning of the essay and clearly label them. See the bottom of page 2 of the class packet for one possible way to do this.
