No, we aren't all. Most people don't choose to be not influenced even though they could. Also, the trends think they show that. Advertising doesn't cause people to buy when they don't want to, it influences what they buy when they're going to. Sometimes it lets people know about a new product that they then figure out that they can use it and it would be helpful, but the advertising isn't making them buy it when they don't need it.
