Presenter Do you think TV commercials have
changed over the last fifty years?
Expert Oh yes. They have become much more
sophisticated, mostly because the audience is
smarter. Back in the 1960s, advertisers just showed
their product and told viewers what to do with it: Drink
lemonade! Buy Glitz washing powder! Today, ads
like that don’t work.
Presenter Why not?
Expert Well, today, viewers want ads to make
them laugh or cry, and they want to learn things they
don’t already know. They’re too smart to be told what
to do, and they also have the technology to avoid
commercials. We can mute the sound if we don’t
want to listen.
Presenter Yes, I guess you’re right. I hadn’t thought
about it that way before. We’ve become more
demanding, I suppose.
Expert Absolutely. That’s why commercials draw
people in by telling a story, or create mystery by not
telling them what’s being advertised until right at the
end. We keep watching because we want to know
what happens.
