The Evolution of Media: Online Advertisements are Easy to Find

Throughout the years, marketing and advertising has changed in a drastic way over the years.  In what ways you might ask?  Traditional ways of advertising goods and services (ex. Newspaper ads, television advertisements, etc.) have become more obsolete due to online mediums (ex. Internet advertisements) taking the interest of new generations.

With online advertisements, you can find them all over the internet.  An example is random advertisements that appear on YouTube videos before they start and advertisements you can just normally watch on YouTube (ex. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl2U1p3fVRk).  An advertisement like the Honda one is so easy to find online, don’t you agree? That is because you can find thousands of online ads (like this one: http://www.wordstream.com/images/google-display-ad-example.png) easier than to search through a lot of newspapers to find the right ad, not to mention the price of buying all of those papers.  Really when was the last time you looked through a newspaper for an advertisement before looking on the internet?













For now, I believe traditional medium is weaker than online medium.  This is because the online ads are better at availability.
