Headline: Nowhere to Go to Escape Ads
Nutshell: There will be nowhere to go to get away from the barrage of commercials.
Vision:In the future, there will be nowhere to go where any number of people can’t reach you. And I don’t mean the people that we like. I mean the mas marketers.
We’re always, constantly being sold to now, imagine 10 years from now, when we each have a personal=information hub strapped to us by way of a cell phone or a small computer. Imagine in 10 years when every business finally figures out how to best sell to their target market.
I’m all for capitalism, but this invasion of privacy will become more specific to each of us as companies refine their techniques.
