No wonder that adverts are all aimed a women: men play with the remote
during adverts, so only ever see any accidentally, while women, who, so
they tell us, never play channel surfing, must watch the adverts... :-)

So what will advertising be like in 3000? It'll have to change soon,
anyway. Can adverts as adverts be really envisioned over the long term, or
must they become some kind of entertainment of themselves? As the number of
channels of information open up, won't we just move away from boring,
repeated messages? I might watch an advert once, if it appeals, by the
third time I see it, I've gone off the product completly. As far as I'm
concerned, often adverts turn me away from a product, and most of my
buying decisions are made by reading the small print on the label!
