In all honestly a very long way does seem to be the answer, but how far has it really come??
The real truth is that advertising in its own right dates back thousands of years and the Egyptians are known to be the real inventors. Egyptians are famous for many inventions and inventing advertising seems to be another one of their most brilliant ones ever. They had already previously started to use papyrus which was actually another Egyptian ivention,to record many things on like events and activities. The Egyptians then did something that was quite remarkable, they started to write down advertisements on this paper and post it around the cities. It was this that kicked everything off with the rest of the world’s future generations.
Commercial messages and political campaign messages were found within the ruins of Pompeii and advertising used often in both Ancient Greece and Rome.The middle ages took on the idea of advertising in their own special way, as they invented the image form of advertising.It was also around this time that Town Criers were used to advertise many things such as fruit and vegetables.
If you were then to think foward many, many years the invention of the radio came into play and of course with this came the quirky jingle advertisements. Next came the invention of the TV, which was closely followed by the arrival of the Advertising agency started to come into play.
Of course nowadays advertisement is used in almost everything from video games and public transport and even used in public schools. We have also seen a range of different formats, from direct marketing to twist banner stand so ways and means continue to evolve and broaden.
How long before advertising gets into everything, everywhere? With every new piece of technology advertising seems to sneak its way into the world, so be prepared to start seeing it get a lot worse.
