, some people believe that they make them buy the products that they really don't need. The following essay will discuss my viewpoint about the commercials that I agree with. In the fast paced world, commercials have been serving the role of making people aware about any new product or service available out there. Nowadays people are so busy balancing their work and life cycle that they are sometimes unaware of new services launched in the market. I would like to share my experience in the context. I've been using Rogers internet connection for 3 years and thought it was the best nor I ever tried double checking for other possible affordable options. It happened once that I was watching a YouTube video and saw a commercial in between the video which it showed new plans from Bell which were both fast and cost effective.

commercialize their new products or services how could people be expected to know about it? I would encourage myself to add up one more of my life experience. It happened when me when I used to commute by bus when I was studying in university. I saw a banner for an advertisement for students discounted bus pass. I inquired about it and got to know it was true which saved me a lot of money. I really appreciated that commercial or else I would have ended up making much more than I was supposed to. We have been noticing commercials for generations now and is still going on. The essay discussed about my viewpoint about advertisements which I have discussed above. In the end, I would like to summarize myself by saying "commercials will keep on doing what they are supposed to do as it's their
