Advertising is about to change. Future scenarios like those outlined by Nokia show an ideal world. Where is advertising in that scenario? Mixed and augmented reality services offer infinite layers for the bomb carpet of advertising. Sure, there are some really nice examples of augmented reality advertising campaings. Nevertheless, I guess that in the long run an ubiquitous presence of targeted advertising -more cruise missile than bomb carpet- is going to evolve. Think about RFID and GPRs enabled devices like described in Dean Donaldson’s dystopian blog post on location-based advertising.
