Response to Lindsey's Post

How else do you think technology has changed the way products or services can be marketed? Do you find internet advertising more successful or less successful?

I think that technology has changed a lot about how products or services can be marketed.  Technology has opened doors for business to track potential customer's internet habits, adapting their advertisements to more accurately target groups.  I think this is both a good and bad thing because it begins to raise questions about privacy and how much information about you that really want these companies to have access to.  I think internet advertising is more effective because companies can accurately target the specific groups of people likely to react to their advertisements in a positive way.  Google knows I shopped for boots on the internet, so now I get constant boot advertisements which may lead me to buy a new pair of boots even though my last pair is fine.  Internet advertising leads to more buying and selling opportunities.
