or subliminal advertising call it what ever you want. Is it out there? Does it work? Are you exposed to it online?

Here's how it works in real life.

How about computer screens?

Stare at this picture for a bit and then answer the poll question.

Huh?

 

How many calories does it has come to mind...

 

Like you need to worry about calories!

 

I was thinking I'm damn glad that thing did fall on my car or head!

 

As far as I can find, there is no antivirus or malware program that can defeat subliminal messaging. Maybe some of our computer gurus will contribute. The interesting part about it is, as exhibited in the video, sequential subliminal programming.
It's not just a picture, it's a sequence of pictures presented in a manner capable of changing your mind.

Think of the web sites you go to daily, look at the header. Consider social web sites.

It's nothing new, just a new application for group motivation and it's one you see but don't see. It's out there all the time.

It's been around for a long time. I remember talking about it in business classes when I was in college........ a long time ago. What is scary now is the use of it over the internet by young people and a group like by ISIS being able to impact their brains.

 

1) Yes
2) Yes
3) Yes
4) Yes
5) Nah

This type of thing has been around for pretty much forever. Implementation changes, but the game is still the same. People trying to manipulate people to do what they want them to do... yep, that's pretty much been out there since the dawn of humankind. You look right at it every day. Sometimes you recognize it when it's happening, but most times you don't.

 

Yes It's been around forever but our infatuation with digital media has not. You can download insertion programs that will subliminally send messages at a rate you can't see and identify over and over. On websites, forums or other places you visit often they can sequence multiple messages. These messages can be visual, script or both.

You're in the business. Do you protect your clients against electronic subliminals or are you aware of any of your clients using them? How about targeted subliminals to mobile phone applications using gps and past histories?

Can you tell what's in the picture?

Like I said, implementation changes, but the game is still the same. Sleight of hand, suggestive statements, guiding verbiage, etc. TVs have been around since the late '20s, and the same concerns as you mentioned apply to those. It's really not much different, just more of it.

Re your questions, 1) No, it's not my job to protect people's minds. Only their data. My prime directive is to protect the data above all else. Secondly, I try to simplify their jobs at work and facilitate their productivity via technology where applicable. I have no idea what the web designers do with the client web sites or online marketing campaigns. Not my problem. 2) No. 3) Nope.

This feels like throwback Thursday! The walrus is paul. Paul is dead. Bury my body. It's all satanic stuff.

And then those silly guys in ELO. You know, I have to admit ELO is the one reason I miss actual record albums. I don't have a player anymore and none of my albums ever actually made it to the west coast with me, but I feel like I should miss them. It is probably a subliminal thing.
