Dilemma 3/2/09

You have the magical power to stop one and only one of the following two scenarios. Which would you prevent?

1. Advertisers start projecting ads into the night sky.
2. Billboard ads include cameras that track your eye movements and customize the ads accordingly.

#2 is creepy but #1 is more intrusive, in a way. For #2 you have to go where the billboards are.

Besides, #2 is coming. I've seen Minority Report.

I think I'd prevent #2. It's just a version of what goes on online, but... sometimes you want to get away from it. Although, I suppose you could just wear sunglasses! Haha! Seriously, though, I think #2 has the potential to be far more pervasive than #1 (everywhere you see a regular billboard now), whereas #1 is more gimmicky, like skywriting or banners behind planes.
