Advertising is not a technology and there is no evidence that advertising occured 30,000 years ago. That time period predates capitalism, products and competition among manufacturers, and written language.
Advertising is a method of persuasion.
It’s as old as civilization.
We advertise for various reasons, selling products is just one of them.
And yes, over time, we have developed new advertising techniques.
A body of techniques is what’s referred to as a “technology”.
What are you even on about? Persuasion is not advertising. And in the absence of a material culture for advertising, there is literally no basis for the 30,000 year claim. This is pure nonsense and the worst kind of bullshit.
If I address every silly claim I’ll be here all day.
Advertising is a communication technique to bring attention to something.
You are mostly talking about commercial advertising, which is still not technology.
Where did you find that definition of technology?
