The future is here, and it’s not a pretty one. With roads intentionally made longer for adding more billboards for advertising, our world has become an endless scrolling virtual highway. We can no longer escape the bombardment of advertisements as we drive down the street or take a road trip across the country. This type of advertising strategy is nothing new; companies have been using it for decades to get their message out to consumers. But now, instead of having just a few billboards along the side of the road, they are creating entire highways filled with them. This makes it nearly impossible to go anywhere without being bombarded by ads from every direction. Not only does this create an unpleasant user experience, but it also creates a distraction that can be dangerous for drivers on the road. With so many distractions competing for attention, drivers may not be able to focus on driving safely and could end up in accidents due to their lack of attention. It’s also important to note that these types of advertisements are often targeted towards certain demographics or age groups which can lead to further issues such as discrimination or stereotyping in society. The implications of this type of advertising are far-reaching and could have serious consequences if left unchecked. Not only will it create an unpleasant user experience but it could also lead to further issues such as increased distracted driving and discrimination in society if advertisers continue targeting certain demographics with their messages. The future looks bleak indeed if we don’t take action soon against this form of advertising before it gets any worse than it already is today.
