Advertising on the internet.
Posted: May 10th, 2008 | Author: G. | Filed under: humanity | Tags: advertising, commerce, humanity, internet, society | No Comments »The internet is the global meeting place for the planet. It’s everywhere. It just is. The Internet is something wholly new in the World. It’s more than webpages with sports scores, it’s the cellphone network which has mated with the web, it’s the GPS satellites which we can use to track our specific loction on the planet in relation to everyone else on the internet. It’s the satellites who transfer our transmissions of data, entertainment and information to each other. It’s the ability for us to use the Internet to transcend our borders to explore each other, to explore our world. To know one another. It is where Children in Tokyo go to get to the latest American Pop Idol’s presence on the informational data stream. To know that theres someone over here singing and dancing and doing something. For a man to tap into the global information stream to contact his wife across town instantly via audio, video, text message, email to know if he was supposed to pickup the blue or the pink pillow. He can send her a picture to which she can call and talk to confirm. It’s where businessmen in Dubai are looking to find buyers on the planet who want silks and linens. Where a hotel purchasing agent is looking to supply her chain with fancy linens and finds sellers across the planet. A man in Sweden takes photographs and post’s his photos for everyone else on the planet to see what he sees. To show his world as he see’s it. For him to buy the Camera from a seller in Korea and a lens from a fellow photographer in Argentina whome he met on a forum discussing like interests.
The internet is no less than the interconnectedness of humanity. Our etherial tether to each other. Communication, the exchange of ideas, information. The internetwork of humanity is communication. For us to transcend our borders mentally to expand our awareness of whats around us. Not just physically through government use of exploration to take new territories like an evergrowing ant mound. But socially through communication. With communication we can share our understanding of life around us. To realize we are together.
