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.
