Will it be possible in coming days to display adds online based on your mood?

Maybe via some kind of sensor you sit on or wear.
Other than that I don’t see how.

I hope not. Because if they start doing that, that’s the last time I use that website. Far too intrusive.

And the internet isn’t intrusive already @elbanditoroso ?
I look something up, and adds appear for it on other web sites I visit.
People will buy into this concept just like everything else, if told they gotta have it, can’t live with out it, they will claw at the walls for it.

@SQUEEKY2 sure it is, but you have to draw the line somewhere. This is where the line is for me.

Sensors like a Kinect can already detect your heart rate and general mood. Putting those into laptops and monitors isn’t really a stretch any more. So it’s reasonable to think anything with a set of sensors can figure out how you’re feeling.

We’re about to get into eye tracking as an input method for consumers, so that basically gives all the sensors needed as well, and an excuse to turn them on. You don’t want to have to use a mouse, like some dinosaur, do you? ~

Then it’s really just classifying and routing the ads, which has been refined for decades. I’m pretty sure that’s not going to slow anyone down.

That’s all a long, drawn out, way to say it’s probably already being worked on, and isn’t even considered difficult.

The hurdle right now is just making the tech needed common enough for advertisers to care and pay more for that data.

In the future, it will be possible to project ads directly into your brain via the implants that everyone voluntarily puts in their heads like the newest yearly iteration of smartphone.
Hell, they might even directly plant the decision to buy the products, bypassing your own will.
