This topic was discussed sometime back in our weekly team meeting. The primary purpose of this discussion was to heighten the team spirit, which will eventually help in more efficient work done by the team.This obviously provided me with a splendid opportunity to know all individual (as I've recently joined this team). Although, I still feel advertisements do more good & no harm. But, after the discussion I realized a few negatives of advertising. Certainly not harmful, but annoying, galling etc. Needless to say every good thing has a bad side to it as well, & contrariwise. Advertising is a concept, which tests the level of innovation for a designer, makes the general public aware of what good products are available in market & which ones are cost effective (based on how much one can spend). Advertising helps make market more competitive & gives equal opportunity to a small entrepreneur when compared with large entrepreneurs. With competition comes quality at a reasonable price. On contrary to this, there are certain advertising concepts which I believe could be annoying to the user. It can be either advertising over the internet which hinders with the download of actual content & may result in loss of bandwidth to the user.The other form of advertising is Mobile advertising, where an advertisement is sent in the form of an SMS, this kind of advertising cannot be harmful, but definitely its annoying. Having said this, I’m sure someone must be having a different opinion from what is written above & that is bound to happen.
