A talk I appreciate. I would support the creation of advertising free zones in urban and residential spaces. I want to know what other people are up to so that when I have a need, I can look to see who might best be able to fill it. For that I would be willing to subject myself to advertising. But it would be so relaxing to to have to spend energy constantly tuning out ads.
