Then I started seeing TV commercials for Cingular, but of course they did not make it clear what Cingular is, because the First Rule of Modern Advertising is: "Never reveal what you are advertising."

Advertising played a major role in creating the ethos of that era - the idea that, "Here it is, and you can have it now."
