Personalized Advertisement

As the age of technology continues to bring us smaller and more powerful gadgets, advertisement agencies have such adapted in an effort to continue getting the word out for companies everywhere.  It seems that as the day of the telemarketer has diminished, a new breed of technomarketer has inversely risen.

Whether it was a single website you visited once, technology now adays has the ability to find personal data on computers and other gadgets that allow them access to places in which they can maul you with advertisement.  For instance, checking an email account now adays involves a majority of that time spent shuffling through emails in search of finding one or two actual important emails.  In addition, it seems that cell phone numbers are either sold to advertisement companies or they randomly dial numbers in hopes of landing a sale, or worse fanagling people into giving up their money in hopes of getting more money back.  Although their are laws, acts, or policies which should technically prevent this, there will always be a means of getting around those in favor of getting a companies name out there.

Should outside sources be able to access personal computers to advertise to individuals?
