Somehow, our mind has developed into this complex system that, through electrical impulses, is able to manipulate the physical world. Some believe…

In 1801, scientists began the first experiments to try to create holographic images (Winston, 1998, p. 388). While they have not yet perfected this craft, sometime in the near future, these images will start breaking into the scene. Technology is always advancing. Since its beginning, the media has made great strides to get to where it is today. Because of the progress that has been made, society in American has changed drastically.
