Everybody knows at least one movie that just should not have been made. Creators and directors all over the world create films as a living, but only sometimes are they actually worth it. The 2010 movie, Rubber, is absolutely one of the worst movies ever made. The lines are awful, there are really bad actors, and an even stupider plot. A character's lines always affects the movie. In the very beginning, a random car comes out of nowhere, and knocks over chairs sitting in the middle of the desert…

Millions of people around the world sit down in front of their television set and are told that “For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear”. But this seemingly absorbing lead into a popular science fiction TV show is actually telling the truth. What the unsuspecting audience is being fed is chilling. “What is dangerous about television is not its junk, it is that television is transforming all serious public business into junk” (449 P4) In addition, the…

Volleyball games are a time with excitement and intensity for all ages. From digging, and sets to serving and kills, this sport has mastered the art of entertainment for all.

Postman’s overarching idea is that the television has changed not only the way in which news is presented to the public, but also that it has changed the very way we think. Although his book has two parts, I would like to divide it into three. First, Postman writes about the nature of information and how it relates to both the medium that is conveying it and the audience that is receiving it. Next, Postman takes us through a brief history of the multiple revolutions in communication as well as…

technologies drastically changed the way society experiences media. Before media was easily accessible in the palms of our hands, we would rely on our home entertainment systems to listen to or watch what we wanted.
