What Happens When Everything Is Provided For Free By Advertisers?

What Happens When Everything Is Provided For Free By Advertisers?

By Piers Fawkes on April 27, 2007

The latest post from the very good Springwise makes us wonder when will this advertising paid for stuff cease? Maybe it won’t. Recently we’ve seen ad-paid for mail, photocopying and phone calls and music.

Maybe everything will be offered for free one day. Maybe we’ll see ads on free things that offer other things provided for free with the help of advertisers. Then we won’t need to buy anything. Thanks advertising!

Just a Friday thought.
