5 . Whether they’re playing on our TV screens or printed in newspapers, adverts are everywhere.
In fact, according to US market research company Yankclovich, the average person living in a city sees thousands of ads every single day.
However, ads don’t just act as a tool for getting people to buy things; they also serve as a window into cultures, societies and history.
Modern adverts began to appear in the 18th and 19th centuries, since advances in printing techniques allowed more detailed images to be produced in newspapers and magazines.
Looking at some of these early ads is like taking a step back in time to another world.
For example, an 1881 advert for French cigarettes promised that its product would “give immediate relief” to a list of medical conditions, including breathing problems.
And a US ad from a 1955 newspaper advised mothers to mix the sugary soft drink A7 Up with their baby’s milk.
These days, of course, the harmful effects of both smoking and sugary drinks are well known.
But although these adverts seem unusual to us now, perhaps future generations may consider some of today’s ads to be just as bizarre.
“Advertising often serves as an indicator for what society considers to be socially acceptable and desirable at the time.” US marketing expert wrote on the Ad Council’s website.
In spite of being designed to sell or advertise something, some ads can even become part of a society’s vernacular (方言).
In the UK, for example, a slogan (标语)created in 1994 to advertise paint is used in everyday conversation by many Britons.
The phrase, “It does exactly what it says on the tin”, is used to describe an item or product that’s open, straight forward and simple.
Meanwhile, also in the UK, if someone describes themselves as a “Marmite person”, this means that you may either lose them or hate them, based on the British food Marmite’s slogan, “Love it or hate it.”
So, in spite of what we may think of them, it seems that ads are a bigger part of everyday life than we think they are.
Instead of finding them annoying, however, at least we can be assured that future generations will have an interesting way to see how we lived —— no matter how unusual today’s world may seem to them.
