Is advertising the new form of technology?

Every where you look in the world today, some one is trying to sell you something. Whether it be car insurance or a new can of soda. None the less, companies are on the rise with trying to make their brand superior to others. They try using catchy jingles or a talking gecko, but the sad part is, they work. No matter how hard you try to avoid all the ads, you find yourself singing the jingle or referring something in your day to the gecko. Besides the point, advertising has become one of the most used forms of technology over the past ten years. How can you not drive down a highway or a road without see a billboard or a sign trying to sell you something. You just take it now as a part of your life. You may not realize this because it is so common, but gas stations are the biggest forms of advertisement today. When have you drove around to find the best price for gas even though it was only by a couple of cents. We don't realize it now because are lives have become a form of advertisement. It kinda hard to come by, but if you think about, when have went somewhere because you saw a sign or a flier. It's scary to think about, but even we, as people, are walking forms of advertisement.
