Advertising is a method of persuasion.

It’s as old as civilization.

We advertise for various reasons, selling products is just one of them.

And yes, over time, we have developed new advertising techniques.

A body of techniques is what’s referred to as a “technology”.

Advertising is a communication technique to bring attention to something.

You are mostly talking about commercial advertising, which is still not technology.

Where did you find that definition of technology?

What are you even on about? Persuasion is not advertising. And in the absence of a material culture for advertising, there is literally no basis for the 30,000 year claim. This is pure nonsense and the worst kind of bullshit.

Start with your silly claim that “advertising”, as you define it, occurred 30,000 years ago. Any non-suppositional evidence please.

By your logic, a political or religious speech would be advertising.

One intended to persuade, yes.

We sometimes call that variety of advertising, “propaganda”.

It really feels like you’re trying to make any sort of persuasion = advertising, which is just stupid.

Also, calling “a body of techniques” a technology would imply that martial arts and dances are technologies.

Technology can therefore be defined both as an ensemble of deliberately created processes and objects that together accomplish some function as well as the associated knowledge and skills used in the conception, design, implementation, and operation of such technological artifacts.

Do you have any understanding of your own? This secondhand, copy pasted stuff rings hollow.

I’m a scholar. It means not pulling stuff from your ass and citing your sources.
