I don't know a single person that isn't dependent on it in some way. I'd be more worried about the average person that uses the Web for so much than a company that sells ad space.<BR/><BR/>My computer is slower, too. In my case, I suspect that's because my computer is old and connection is probably not the best out there. But in general, it's true that in the age of bigger-better-faster-more, flashy and colorful sites, videos and ads do not help those even with state-of-the-art equipment.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I use a browser with an ad-blocking program. I'm guessing that since I began using it about a year ago, I've seen probably about 95% fewer ads online that I did before. <BR/><BR/>But ad agencies will always come up with a new, more effective, more annoying way to get our attention about a product. If the web cools down, they will score somewhere else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
