For Many Years Now My Family Has Watched The Super Bowl

The home of the brave, the land of the free, and also considered the best country on Earth: the United States of America. Reality, however, completely contradicts this statement. The average American shows tendencies of having a small attention span, an easily influenced mindset, and ignorance. The Super Bowl, one of the biggest events in America, has millions upon millions of people watching yearly. In this past super bowl, An estimated 103.4 million people watched according to CBS news. For the majority of individuals, however, the commercials stand out from the football game as more entertaining. For this reason, having a commercial during the Super Bowl gives companies a spotlight in the hope of gaining publicity for the product or service.

There are more than a few reasons people watch the super bowl. Some watch for the game (surprisingly not the majority), some watch for commercials or good deals, etc. Whatever makes people watch, makes the super bowl one of the most watched games every year. I saw a few really good commercials during the game and a few commercials that make me believe that a new generation is upon us with a T-Mobile commercial that used word play to joke about marijuana and other commercials that were very…. Sexy? With all of this being said I am one of the viewers who tune in for the actual game. I was scheduled to work Sunday night during the super bowl so naturally as a football fan I called off so I could catch the game, for homework of course. The game

As societies advance deeper into technology, so do the corporation and businesses that we as consumers support. The means of advertisement has changed significantly over the decades. For example before the television sets or radios were invented, general advertisement was commuted by word of mouth from shopkeepers, and posters, to the general populous. After the radio was invented, businesses could pay a fee to be promoted by local broadcasters over a larger radius than, word to mouth advertising would. Through the centuries many methods of advertising have spawned, however the most effective form of advertisement are televised commercials. Thanks to the use of television, companies and businesses have the ability to create intrapersonal commercials

When I was a kid in school, I was told that there were the basic things that you needed like clothes and food and there were the things that you maybe want but don’t really need. Advertisements do not have any effects on what we need. We don’t watch and add about how we need to eat food to stay alive; we have hunger for that. However, Advertisements greatly affect what we want.

The most recent sports advertisement I have seen and paid attention were the Pepsi, ‘Hyped for Halftime. The only reason these billboards stuck with me is because there was a billboard everywhere you turned in downtown Phoenix for several weeks leading up to the Super Bowl. Otherwise, I do not watch much in the way of advertisements.

Now ads are everywhere. With the ads like that it increases the sales, how much their product is seen, and how much the company itself is viewed. They’re on just about every website on the internet, and they are even calling your phones to say, “hey buy me.” This all deals with how technology has changed. How we advertise is just a nice way of saying how we package details. “There is a simple way to package information that, under the right circumstances, can make it irresistible” (Gladwell P. 200). It’s amazing when you look back in research, or in your mind and see the difference in advertising then, and advertising now.

Imagine sitting down on a Saturday night to relax and watch your favorite show. As you turn to your show you begin notice that the whole thing is full of ads, everything from the billboards in the back ground, to the logo on the coffee cup that the main character is drinking out of. This is exactly the kind of thing you can expect to see in the future. In his article Damian Ward Hey argues that it is in the best interest of the television and advertising industries to keep the balance between appropriate advertising and content. He uses evidence and examples of virtual advertising that relate to the audience as well as his well-educated tone of voice to make his claim, and

I see advertisement everyday of my life. I see advertisement in unusual places like the trays attached to the seats of airplanes or even in a place I would commonly consider as private like bathrooms. I would say my childhood

The Super Bowl is a big deal for many Americans, with merely 103 million viewers this year alone. It has become tradition for friends and families to gather for this nationally televised football game. While watching the football game may be entertaining, many people are focused mainly on the commercials. Major advertisers spend almost 5 million dollars for 30 seconds of television time. With money, these commercials also take a lot of time and effort, and advertisers have to be sure that they represent America and its people well. Sometimes they show the negative sides of Americans in order to provide entertainment. These commercials imply that Americans are unhealthy, ignorant, and unmotivated.

Steve Maich's article "What the Net Taught TV" in the February 21, 2005, issue of Maclean's Magazine states that TV actually takes advertisement ideas from the internet. The author mentions how TV ads are avoided by viewers and PVRs are indeed used to restrain TV ads. Then the ads on TV were lengthy enough, which removed the line between ads and entertainment .However, the online ads after a decline got a boom while the TV ads were still in crisis; the author also believes that it was also necessary to understand the reason behind the decline of internet ads. Finally, the internet pioneers figured out the reason and preferred the "sponsor search" ads, which is liked by both the advertisers and consumers, though every web page has some advertising,

I watched the show Crminal Minds on January 26, 2016 from 12 -1 pm. During this show there were 34 advertisements in total during the show. The advertisements covered a variety of things such as promoting new shows that would be coming on in the future that are in the same category of programs as Criminal Minds. There were several commercials about life insurance car insurance, as well as a number of medications. There were also commercials pertaining to anti aging skin care products as well. The commercials seemed to be trying to connect with those that like similar programming to what we were watching. The commercials also seemed to be trying to reach an audience that might be home for lunch at that time of day and was trying to cover

Imagine its 1967. The Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs are playing in Super Bowl I and have just gone to commercial. It’s a quick 30 second spot and then one after another, more commercials appear. The cost of a 30-second spot back in 1967 cost $75,000. The cost of a one-minute ad would cost $75,000 on NBC and $85,000 on CBS, which were the two television networks broadcasting the first Super Bowl.

Companies have been advertising their goods since consumerism was created Street merchants in . In the 21st century, it is hard to go a day without seeing an advertisement.

Advertisements are a huge part of our everyday lives. We see different types of ads everywhere we look; while watching television, listening to the radio, riding on the bus and even walking around your school campus. It seems like the whole world is being flooded by advertisements.

Advertising has always been an important part of our society. The history of advertising can be traced to pre-modern history when it served an important purpose by allowing sellers to effectively compete with other merchants for the attention of clients in Ancient Egypt. From 1704 when the first newspaper advertisement was announced, it gradually grows into a major force in American society based primarily on newspapers and magazines (Ad Age Advertising Century, 1999). It not only helps to raise the target demographics’ awareness of issues, but also educate consumers with the benefits of the product. However, advertising cannot target a particular person before the emerging of World Wide Web.
