... in order to avoid seeing ads. I wonder how many accidents will be caused by people looking away to avoid advertising and so overlooking important information, like an oncoming automobile. Even if laws are necessary, avoidance shouldn't be dangerous.
Also, you do realize that the reason McDonald's sells so much food is because people want to buy it, right?! The people who want to stop McDonald's from selling certain products or sizes are actually trying to stop the customers. If the counter were able to provide facts about food, only those unlikely to buy would be attentive. Unless laws were passed to mandate it.
So this new technology will be used to afflict people with ads they do not wish to see and warnings against things they want to do. Isn't this a discussion of an increasingly hostile environment?
Maybe people would be happier without obtrusive advertisers and scolds. You think? - Posted by: Anton Philidor Posted on: 02/11/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
