Story: Outdoor advertising is taking a new dimension. The era of still pictures on billboards is gradually coming to an end. In fact it is already buried and replaced with a new method that is not only 21st century in outlook but in sync with computer age we are already in. The above electronic billboard in Piccadilly Circus, London attests to that. More like a big outdoor television, only that this time it broadcasts only advertisement regardless of the outdoor weather.
