It would certainly seem that it has come a very long way since it first started out, but just how far has it really managed to come?
Advertising started a very long time ago when the Egyptians were the men of the world. The Egyptians are credited for many, many inventions and how they created the pyramids is still a great mystery. They had already previously started to use papyrus (first paper) to record many things on. 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.
It is also known that Pompeii, the city destroyed by the terrible forces of nature, actually had used adverts to show off commercial messages.The middle ages also used advertising but because many of the people couldn’t read they invented the image form of advertising so people would know which shop was which.It was also around this time that Town Criers were used to advertise many things such as fruit and vegetables.
Leap forward many years and you get to the stage in which door to door salesmen started doing the rounds and then came the invention of the radio in which companies were able to do short advertisements on between music and talk. Television came next which is around the time Advertising agency started to come about.
Of course nowadays advertisement is used in almost everything from video games and public transport and even used in public schools. It has also comes in many different forms ranging from direct mail to twist banner stand so ways and means continue to evolve and broaden.
How far can advertising go? 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.
