Chapter 8 was on television, cable, and mobile video. It was interesting to read about how television evolved over the years. Starting at just scanning and now seeing how many different types of cable there is, it's a pretty drastic change. It's also interesting to me because the big changes in television and cable didn't happen that long ago. All of these major changes took place in the last 50-60 years. This chapter was set up just like all the others, starting with the history and ending with the most recent updates in technology and how they impact said media. It's crazy to me that every single form of major media has been impacted in the same way due to the changes in technology.
Chapter 6 discussed the topic of film. The format of this chapter was similar to the other ones, however it contained a lot more information. There was a lot more vocabulary in this chapter than the other ones, however I enjoyed reading this chapter a lot more. I enjoyed reading about film because it's the only topic so far that is still very relevant to my life and the lives of many others. Film is something that still appeals to people of any and all ages, while newspapers and magazines are things that I have never really been that much into. It was very interesting to read about the very early stages of film and then to see how advanced film is now. Reading about the whole process really shows how much technology has evolved over time.
