Door to door salesmen, newpapers, radio, tv, stuff your
mailbox.....advertising has come a long way and in the 2nd millenium
we are going to see less and less non-electronic sales and
advertising. I would like to get a feeling for what advertising might
look like in the next decades. For instance..in 2010 will getting
something in your mailbox be almost unheard of? What kind of
communications between advertiser/political candidate should we
expect?

I hope we will bring the cost of mailing books, newspapers, magizines
and advertising to within 80% of the parcel post and first class rate.
Tax payers should not subsidise these activities. Even at 100% the
volume of mailed advertising will drop only by 50% by 2010 IMHO.
 I hope advertizing agencies will decide they should carefully avoid
lies, half truthuths and false inferences. At present standards, I
have concluded that "all ads are lies" is a working assumption, for
even internet advertising.  Neil
