I remember feeling derisive about marketing as a young techie
In the ideal world, people should be empowered to be able to retrieve what they are looking for when they need it (people pull and filter information, rather than being pushed information). The reason we can’t realistically do it right now is due to marketing effort manifested into spam, which turns it into a very difficult technological problem.I would still feel derisive about marketing as a field due to that reason. Marketing nowadays seems to focus on overwhelming the audience and hope they makes bad decisions.
