After being involved in making the Gnosiomania Website ( The quiz fest of our college and more ), I seem to have become interested in the world of designing.
It is clear from the growth of the internet that companies have already started transferring their marketing funds from the idiot box and other print media to the internet. This leads to the question of what will be the type of advertising that will rule the internet in the future ( with internet the future is always so close ). Google introduced a revolutionary concept of advertising based on relevant ads ( The ads on the right side are related to your search results ).
As far as design goes, I think we are moving towards customized design. Even the ads people will be viewing would change according to their tastes. Some way or the other, the 'irritating' ads are going to be completely out. The most important ads would be the ones people want to see.
For marketing companies a greater reach on the internet will be a boon. Even now companies are giving an incentive to people who watch their ads ( Microsoft Office 2007 launched a campaign that said "watch the ad, fill a form and you can win a laptop" ).
God knows where we are heading but its always important to speculate, isn't it.
