Response to "The Technology and the Society" and "The Television Delivers the People"

"The Television Delivers The People"

I really liked this film. I thought it effective the way it used the medium it was criticizing. I like the elevator type music in the background. It made the message seem so harmless. It used the same tactics normal television uses to draw in its viewers. As a viewer I could see people being very shocked and upset by the messages being shown. The messages were very dated though, I kept thinking about this work in the time I was created instead of today. I think that today it doesn't function very well since this message has been stated over and over.

"The Technology and the Society"

I thought this article was also dated. It was kind of nice to see the background of the medium we are using, but the ideas seemed old and I don't feel like I learned much from it.
