Or will it be overtaken by a network of interconnected microcomputers in our bodies?
Marketing is many times accused of being guilty of commercialisation and the bad stuff that comes with is. But
if we can belive some very good scientists, the marketing as we know it shall die around the year 2033.
It is the time when we will most certainly have body implants - small super computer that will be capable of communicating and managing our brains.
In joy of many yet sadness of others, the marketing as we know it shall die that year?
Because marketing is about satisfying needs and finding the best ways of doing this.
And these microcomputers might just do the same.
We might expect them to have a software that will combine our needs with the needs of others and through the network find the best solutions to satisfy them.
Forget for a moment that
it only seems science fiction.
As your GPS device finds you the best alternative restaourants nearby, the "personal" computer of the future will find you the best alternative in matter of microseconds. And it will base its decisions on your needs for vitamins, minerals, your banc account status and predictions, time you have until another apointment, crowd on the street, other reservations at the restaurants,... No ads, no commercials. Nothing will influence your best possible decisions for the moment since the overall connected will take care.
No marketing as we know it today since it will only make your decision worst.
Such a computer might even find you the best possible jobs to do for your day. It will base its decisions on current market status, your knowledge, experience, health and mental status, all kinds of stuff.
Forget that it seems scary future. What do you think about it? Ideal no-commercials, no-ads, no-bad-marketing world? Or will we regret the death of marketing as we know it?
