LECTURE TRANSCRIPT:
OK. So now let’s think. How is your experience different from, say, 50 years ago? What are some of the
key changes? Well, in the middle of the Twentieth Century, people in the United States had only
television, radio, records, movies, and print media. Today, early in the Twenty First century, we have
many more options. Let’s see. There’s both a larger variety of technology available. That is, the number
of different devices and types we use is greater. We have…or had, in some cases…because as we speak
some of these devices are becoming obsolete…but no matter video cassettes recorders, digital video
recorders…or DVRs, compact discs, digital video discs, computers. And we also have online activities
now—e-mail, gaming, music streaming, just to name a few.
