People have senses and with the radio, you used one sense, your hearing. Leaving the option for talking about what they were listening to and being able to communicate as a family. With the television, it took another sense. You have to use hearing and seeing leaving little room for talking about what you watching and listening to.

I think, based on my grandmother that people would listen to the news, and see the pictures, people would take it for what it was and not question it. Although back then we did not have several ways of voicing our opinions as we do today. The developments in the evolution of mass media I think...

Traditional media is still here but it is not as effective as it used to be. Technology is the big hit of the century.
