Advertising has come into existence since the beginning of period when people did not
use the barter system, but bought and sold. Before the inventions of newspapers, radio
and television, merchants and salesmen used to shout or sing about things that they were
selling. Those who were hired to advertise things like that were called criers. They even
used musical instruments when crying about their wares. Today, some vendors still do so.
Nowadays, newspaper and magazines are full of advertisements which look attractive and
sound interesting. There is no channel on T.V or on the radio without advertisements.
Along the streets posters are installed for advertising with many eye-catching pictures. In
the store windows, goods of all kinds are displayed and available for every taste.
Computers have become the most modern device for advertising. Customers even can
buy things by using the internet. LISTENING
