Advertising, ad campaigns, ad agencies, and the people that make it happen

Here's some disturbing news... Nearly one-quarter of US adults—and 31% of singles—think the Internet could serve as a replacement for a significant other, according to the Zogby International and 463 Communications' "Internet Attitudes" poll. Men and women were equally likely to think that the Internet could act as a surrogate for a significant other. Some 31% of those who called themselves political "progressives" were open to the Internet being a proxy spouse, and 18% of those who considered themselves "very conservative" said they would consider it as a substitute. Regardless of how attached they were to the Internet, most respondents were not prepared to implant it into their brain, even if it were safe. Only 11% of US adults said they would be willing to implant a device that would let their mind to access the Internet. But wait a few years and who knows?
