What will generation be like in 100 years?

Leave a reply

In the next century, our generation will have undergone a massive change. Just like each and every passing century. Even many films have been made, depicting how our future generation would probably be like. The most common factor in all these films was how our generation would be living side by side with robots. Technology would have advanced into something even better. Many new cities would have emerged. Though all these are just speculations, some of them might be true.

Here are some speculative points over what our generation is going to be like in the next century:

They will have the ability to communicate through thought transmission

Telepathy is a common theme in almost every other sci-fi flick. And the future generation would be able to use it. Whether the communication would be through electrical signals or words is yet to be seen.

They will be able to control the weather

Climate change? Global warming? It will be a thing of the past as the future generation will have the means to create technology that can control the weather. A wonderful technology like this could help in ending droughts and control the unruly weather.

Space travel will be common for them

While we in the 21^st century have visited other planets through satellites and rovers, in the 22^nd century the future generation will be able to travel those planets easily. Just like we frequent other countries and collect our frequent flier miles, the new generation will be collecting their space travel miles.

Clothes that clean themselves would be a reality for them

Don’t you hate it when you spill some ketchup on your tees? Having to clean it again would be such a bothering chore. Obviously, the case won’t be the same 100 years into the future. Mankind would have easily invented clothes that clean themselves, making washing machines a relic of the past.

They will have software to predict traffic jams before they occur

Nobody likes to be stuck in a traffic jam. Even if that jam lasts for a few minutes. Although there are apps today that can tell where a traffic jam has occurred, they can’t predict where the next one will appear. Luckily the future generation will be able to use software that can predict where a traffic jam will occur and can easily avoid it.

In today’s time, we are already seeing major advancements in terms of technology, medicine, science, etc. everything that will benefit the coming generation. For now, the best we could do is to make sure that the future generations won’t have to suffer from any wrong-doings of our current generation. And also ensure that we leave a better world for them to live in.

What Will Advertising Be Like In 100 Years?

#regoadvertising

Advertising is an industry that has evolved with the times. It started with a single piece of paper that soon transformed into a billboard, then radio, and then television until finally it made its presence in the digital world. This makes one wonder what advertising is going to be like in a hundred years.

Obviously, technology is going to play a bigger part. Along with the digital medium that is growing at a rapid pace. But the biggest change will be in the traditional medium like print, radio and television. Traditional advertising will give way to more unconventional and innovative methods.

Here’s what the future holds for the advertising industry in 100 years:

Print

With the rise of people using tablets and smart phones to access the news and read magazines, print ads won’t be around that much. Instead they will be present in the e-zines or e-papers.

Radio

Radio is perhaps the oldest form of advertising that is still relevant today. Nowadays with the whole world being on the internet even radio stations have made their presence online. Whether this affects the way advertising is done in radio is yet to be seen.

Television

When television advertising started some sixty years ago, it changed the way people advertised their products. It was seen as a revolutionary medium then, and now with video streaming sites online, it isn’t as effective as it was. In the future too, instead of television, the ads will be shown in video streaming sites just like the ones seen in streaming site like YouTube.

Digital

In the digital medium, which today although is still in its early years has started to make its impact felt. Today many brands advertise in the digital space instead of the traditional medium. In the future too, digital will have involved into something extraordinary and might replace traditional as the primary medium for advertising.

Even though its 100 years into the future, one thing that’s for sure, is that advertising will still exist as it does today. Whether it will be impactful or not is something to wonder about…

News- Is it useful and how we might fix it

Leave a reply

Everyone watches news channels or read about news in the paper or in social media. Without news one might not be aware of certain events that are happening around them. News basically ranges from different topics and you can find news about sports, politics, world, nation, local, etc. You can find news everywhere in papers, television and online. With a country as diverse as ours, you can find news in various languages too.

Arriving at the main question of the topic – is news useful? I would say it really is, but it depends upon your resources. In today’s age with everything going digital one does not really have to wait for the news to tell what’s going on, people find the topics themselves before it becomes anything major. The only problem is that it may not be relevant or authentic and at times that’s what most people will perceive as the original version.

Even though it being a problem, it is something that cannot easily be fixed unless more people know about it. If it were up to me, this is how I would do it:

Educate

The more people know about the difference between satire news articles and the original news the easier it becomes for them to trust the news. There are also many other news publishing sites which many don’t know but at times post many helpful news articles. It will be better if more people are aware of such news sites.

Post my own take of the news

If I write about the news the way I perceived it, it will help people understand what the news was about rather than make their own assumptions. Plus this will encourage more and more people to write their own take of the news, thereby making people aware of what’s happening around them without referring to news articles.

Use social media

With social media it becomes easier to connect with more people and spread the news faster than any other medium. The audience in these sites is mostly youngsters and exposing them to what’s happening around them along with asking their opinion of the current news is a great way to educate them.

Surely, we all read the news and follow it from time to time be it in the news channels or online but one thing that many agree on is that it is useful.

Blogger

Blogging is a great way to encourage students to improve their writing skills. Teachers can give out writing assignments to students in blogger.

Why do big brands really need advertising and marketing?

2 Replies

If you’re an advertising agency wondering whether a big brand will really need you or not, you’re in for a lucky surprise! Most big brands are the ones who consistently fuel the advertising and marketing industries. This may sound surprising at first but Fortune 500 companies and brands like Pepsi, Coca Cola and Lays are the ones who actually require marketing and advertising on an ongoing basis and earmark big chunks of their budgets for the same. Consider Coca Cola, one of the world’s biggest and most successful brands and they still spend billions of dollars every year on their advertising and marketing initiatives.

A small business or micro-business is worried about surviving in its target market and hence their investments. However, once these companies reach a certain target, they may stop investing altogether. Big brands, on the other hand, look at marketing and advertising as complete nourishment for customers and realize the effect this strategy has on keeping them on top of the pile. Big brands know that true results are derived only out of innovation and marketing and hence their need for consistent advertising. A big brand needs advertising to keep its reputation intact and stay on top of people’s minds without rotting out or going out of sync. This also helps shape target customer bases on a regular basis and brings in new customers and helps retain old ones through the right visuals, messaging and strategies.

Most importantly, all big brands know that no matter how much success they attain, advertising and marketing is what keeps theme relevant in a rapidly evolving landscape. Marketing and advertising keeps the company’s future secured by drawing new business. Big brands do not rely on current situations; they create newer harvests in advance. This is why, they need more advertising than other micro businesses that only resort to advertising whenever they fall short of goals or desperately need more work to keep the cash flow position intact. As a result, an advertising agency like Rego Advertising knows that it is indispensable for big brands looking to retain a firm foothold in the market with sustained and evolving campaigns and hence offer tailored solutions accordingly.

Social Media is your biggest Business card

Leave a reply

Are you a company head looking to impress potential clients? A business card is usually handed out to prospective clients and investors at meetings and PowerPoint presentations. However, in today’s changing times, business cards are no longer in vogue. You have to basically give any client a through idea of your own personality, credentials and your ability to usher in results. Social media profiles and activity are now virtual business cards. Clients now ask for Facebook, Twitter, Google + and LinkedIn profiles. They want to see your experience, your activities, your opinions, your network and your personality in a nutshell and this goes way beyond the scope of what a business card can really show them. This is why social media is given immense importance by companies and clients before taking any major decisions.

This is where you have to tailor your social media profiles immaculately. Your LinkedIn account should contain accurate and honest information on your work experience and areas of expertise. Your skill, talents and professional network should be perfectly showcased on LinkedIn. This holds true for companies as well. Additionally, you should always look to get a few testimonials from previous colleagues, clients and even professionals from other industries and fields. While LinkedIn profiles have to be all about business, companies need to be active on Facebook and Twitter too! Companies should have a sizeable amount of activity in terms of interesting posts and feeds along with decent follower numbers.

This always impresses clients more than anything else. Individuals need to be careful with regard to sharing personal information and photographs on social media platforms. It is best to adopt a balanced approach. Agencies like Rego Advertising believe in harnessing the power of social media to conduct digital marketing campaigns and their accounts are the best virtual business cards, offering insights into their work, their ability as change makers and influencers and their areas of expertise. Similarly, you can also build up your social media platform accounts to work as your best and most potent business cards. This is the biggest trick that many people miss out on these days.
