But that is not true because the brain still registers the stimuli whether you are conscious of it or not. Insidious and brain-changing for sure. <br /><br />Thanks for the link - change billboards to art! <br /><br />Gregg Koephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349453216733070775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-14061544657666889582018-10-25T22:48:16.862-03:002018-10-25T22:48:16.862-03:00It is difficult, but not impossible to escape the ...It is difficult, but not impossible to escape the advertising onslaught. Rarely seeing ads is a beautiful thing. How much stuff would people buy if they weren't constantly triggered by advertising stimuli?Gregg Koephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349453216733070775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-4976330075348452932018-10-25T22:42:16.390-03:002018-10-25T22:42:16.390-03:00A while back we were using something that turned a...A while back we were using something that turned all web pages into text only.

Ads are insidious and brain-changing. I think Banksy would really dig this project. <br />And in my city, a large media company who owns many, many billboards is evidently having trouble keeping them all occupied. So they reached out to local artists who are planning to install large photos on them - I can't wait to see them. The artist Felix Gonzales-Torres is a beautiful artist to look up if this interests you. His work is poetic and hauntingly beautiful. http://artmuseum.princeton.edu/art/exhibitions/1576 Erinhttps://thesweetgrassjournal.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-55342404828891474652018-10-22T18:49:46.642-03:002018-10-22T18:49:46.642-03:00I have an ad blocker on my computer so I rarely se...I have an ad blocker on my computer so I rarely see any ads.

I emailed the bloggers and told them I used to love their blogs and used many of their recipes, but will unsubscribe and leave if I have to continue to fight my way through so many ads. One site I couldn't get through a sentence or two before being interrupted by an ad. Mapquest has gotten impossible to figure out the map because of so many pop up ads. When you click to close one, you find them layered, you have to close about 3 for every location on the map you are trying to read until you get them all closed so you can read the dang map. Maddening.<br /><br />You make a good point, we are paying for internet service. It seems we should have some say about being bombarded with ads.<br />I tried to add Art Ad and wasn't able to on my Windows lap top. Seems they are still developing it. I'll try it on my Apple devices. I'm happy about this option.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13353098535307566034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-5661874988025108982018-10-20T22:07:41.087-03:002018-10-20T22:07:41.087-03:00Getting out of debt is very important, as is incre...Getting out of debt is very important, as is increased self-sufficiency.
