I've noticed this all over not just in movie theaters, it has brought down society and civilization in general. I hope one day we fix it so our children don't have to tolerate it also. Things haven't always been like this it started about 15 years ago and seems to be getting worse.

all time high. tech and powered work was revolutionized. so the most responsible item for the industrial revolution had to be communication. other peers in a field did not have to rely soley on their own working knowledge and experience's for advancement of the field as a whole. just imagine our world 100 yrs from now, knowing that in 1880 leeching was still used although not common. and also the first umm personal vibrator was invented sometime around then, and i think (heard on radio) that it was treatment for phsycopath or something, diagnosed in females with symptoms like irritability etc, but the names might be mixed up. but neat huh? hmmmmmm. i dont know of the truth of the latter. but fte and gnight.

Check this out:\nTELEVISION\n Perhaps the most far reaching change in communications worldwide was the advancement in the area of television broadcasting.  During the 1950's, television became the dominant mass media as people brought television into their homes in greater numbers of hours per week than ever before.  In the early fifties, young people watched TV more hours than they went to school, a trend which has not changed greatly since that time.  What was portrayed on television became  accepted as normal.   The ideal family, the ideal schools and neighborhoods, the world, were all seen in a way which had only partial basis in reality.  People began to accept what was heard and seen on television because they were "eye witnesses" to events as never before (live TV) .  Programs such as You Are There brought historical events into the living rooms of many Americans.  The affect on print news media and entertainment media was felt in lower attendance at movies and greater reliance on TV news sources for information.  And then, in 1954, black and white broadcasts became color broadcasts.   Shows called " sitcoms " like  The Honeymooners ,  Lassie,  Father Knows Best, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet , and  I Love Lucy  featured popular characters whose lives thousands of viewers watched and copied.  Families enjoyed variety shows like Disneyland  and  The Ed Sullivan Show on Sunday evenings.  Daytime programs like Guiding Light,  "soap operas" were popular and helped advertisers sell many products to the homemakers of America.  News broadcasting changed from newsmen simply reading the news to shows which included videotaped  pictures of events which had occurred anywhere in the world, and then to more and more  live  broadcasts of events happening at the time of viewing.   This was made possible in 1951 with the development of coaxial cable and microwave relays  coast to coast.  When  Edward R. Murrow  began offering his weekly radio program (called "Hear It Now") on TV as "See It Now,"  the world of news broadcasting was irrevocably changed (eyewitness recounts the change)\n\nLINKS \nTelevision News Archive  Television news history presented by Vanderbilt University.\n\n Chronology of TV broadcasting   from Jeff Miller, teacher at Gulf High School in New Port Richey, FL \nThe first 75 years of Television   from Tom Genova, many links on development of TV including advertising.

So many things happened in the 20th century!\n\nTechnology boomed: If you don't have a cell phone, TV, or computer, you're seen as primitive.\n\nCivil Rights were established:  Women are much more independent now and have more freedoms.  Same with minority groups.\n\nGo with history.  Whatever historical event was important, there are social changes to follow.

I think  modern society would cope  much better   than when that  radio show  was originally broadcast .  We have more opportunities to get news  so that  wouldn't be fooled   by one source alone. \n\nIf there  was a real alien invasion   society would  fail very  quickly   and there  would be mass  panic  and riots, This  would be due to the  electrical  supply being disrupted, cars  buses trains  and plane  not working  and ultimately  not knowing  whats going on because  thee  wouldn't be anyway of finding out news..

THE IMPORTANCE OF MEDIA IN TODAYS WORLD IS EVIDENT FROM THE FACT THAT IT HAS THE POWER TO INFLUENCE THE LIVES OF ORDINARY PEOPLE IN EVERY WAY..BE IT JUDICIARY..BE IT POLITICIANS..BE IT CRIMINALS..OR BE IT SIMPLE CITIZENS WHO ARE  FIGHTING TOOTH AND NAIL TO COPE WITH THE GROWING INFLATION...

The media and marketing glorify it, as do movies, music, and the general entertainment industry. It is portrayed as the way to be wanted, glamorous, rich and happy. The downside is rarely shown. Society will have to change as a whole, including individual personalities, for this not to be 'in demand.' I agree with you.

There are several topics that have a social impact and comp. sci related:\n\n1) Open source technologies and how they are benefitting/harming business, society, culture. \n\n2) Is computer science an elitist science and can it/should it be made more accessible? How would such accessibility be possible?\n\n3) As technologies grow and advance, how are we humans growing advancing? As in, are we changing technology or is technology changing us?\n\n4) What would happen if the entire world could connect to the internet? Would this spread more good or more evil?\n\n5) Why is the pick-up of new technology slow? How come when a better solution exists, people continue to go with the older worse one?\n\n6) Is the emergence of computer technology in every field a good thing? This esp. if people lose their jobs because of computers taking over their work. \n\nI could think of quite a few more, but have to go. \n\nGood luck!

Television entertains people, no doubt, but it also is out to prove an agenda or set of opinions on what is right and wrong.  Meanwhile the society slowly gets brainwashed, between tv, the newspapers, radio.....and any other source of media.  So lately, I'm not so sure television, specifically the people who produce and air the shows/movies, aren't more concerned about proving a point rather than entertaining people.

HAHA, YOU AGAIN! WELL I'M STILL WATCHING FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR AND WILL SMITH! THE POSITIVE IMPACTS OF TELEVISION WOULD BE THAT IT CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH VALUABLE INFORMATION AT A MODERATE RATE AND IT CONSTANTLY CHANGES. TELEVISION IS ALSO EVOLVING AS WE AS PEOPLE AND AS OUR NATION EVOLVES, SO DO OUR STORIES AND THE WAY THEY ARE DELIVERED EVOLVES. AND THAT CAN EFFECT OUR EVERY DAY LIVES WHICH MAKES ONE FEEL CONNECTED TO THE STORY OR MESSAGE.

I believe that the media can both reflect society AND influence society. Most media is purposely for influencing society to buy products. But I also view some media as a fantasy of some people in our society rather than truly representing/reflecting society. Well, I hope that I gave you a bit to think about now. I hope it helps.

Our dependence upon technology and the fear it fosters as technology becomes a more prevalent entity in our everyday life is the critique of contemporary culture--for example, the strange chemicals in the school that kill a worker cleaning up the asbestos or the conversation between Jack and Babette in the bedroom that is constantly interrupted by a blaring television set. I hope this helps you get another perspective on the novel. Good luck.
