Rifat Hossain Midterm Paper INF 140 The technology was primitive in 1963, but the idea was born of broadcasting live from the scene, having an anchor for the coverage and letting the images do the talking when possible. Some of the tasks were daunting, such as moving studio TV cameras that weighed hundreds of pounds into places such as Dallas police headquarters and stringing heavy cables up a wall and through the police chief 's office. By the time the White House confirmed Kennedy 's death, 45.4 percent of U.S. homes with a television had their sets in use, according to ratings agency Nielsen. On November 22, 1963, just 10 minutes after President Kennedy was shot, CBS broadcast the first nationwide TV news bulletin on the shooting.
Chase Myers 6th 12/8/17 How important was technology in the 1930? In Bud, Not Buddy, the setting is the 1930's. The main character Bud suffered in many ways. His mom died when he was at age 6. He has had a bad foster family.
Ray Bradbury is a renowned author famous for his short science fiction stories and his novel "Fahrenheit 421". His works have inspired many and raised numerous questions about what the future may hold. He's quoted as saying "I don't try to describe the future. I try to prevent it." (Bradbury), and in many ways you can see the motif of this mindset in his work.
Franklin Roosevelt was the first president to communicate over the radio, using it to speak directly to the Americans in his “fireside chats.” Roosevelt had broadcasting equipment permanently moved into the White House so he would be able to broadcast from inside the White house. His first broadcast was on March 12, 193 During the 1930s, most households owned a radio. Obviously listeners could not actually see him and he was not actually next to a fireplace but listeners really enjoyed it. One listener stated, “it was like the president with his voice, came into your house, calling us friends.”
Robin Roberts Our country has depended on media to know about news in the United States and all over the world for a great amount of time now. When broadcasting first began in the early 1930s, women were looked down upon by men but were rising up against that notion. It was also a time when African Americans were not treated as equal citizens. Racism in our nation still greatly existed.
It is also interesting that the response from the media during this period of the first hours and days after the event, appeared to focus more on how few people had been killed, rather than the actual lives of those lost. Maybe this focus shows just what an impact the 9/11 terrorist attack had on the media in the US, where 3000 lives were lost, therefore the magnitude of a tragedy in the US since the 9/11 event, could be now seen as being measured by the number of lives lost. The media response to the Boston bombings was also very different to what occurred in previous terrorist attacks such as 9/11, due to changes in the use of social media and the impact these advancements in technology and the internet in the past 15 years has had on the release of information. The executive producer of a documentary of the Boston Bombings highlights the part that social media had to play in involving the public right from the second the bombs went off when he stated: “In
The bombing marked the first time an event of such large magnitude was covered by social media outlets, completely unparalleled in comparison to the coverage of 9/11. Never before in the history of media had a national security event been covered in real time, with information being fed into news outlets and Twitter at such rapid speed. People could tweet at one another providing live videos of the bombings, photos, and safety updates. During 9/11, however, many people waited anxiously by their TV and the radio for breaking news that took longer time to process and collect. The Boston Bombings, while extremely tragic, helped to strengthen Boston’s civil society.
One more thing and I am moving onto the next fact, not only news stations were broadcasting it live, but it was being recorded on the radio too. Radio Stations would have to be payed to play the fake broadcasters voice over of the event so they would have to keep quiet as
How Technology Leads to Sadness “Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master.” This quote by Christian Lous Lange symbolically shows the relationship between humans and technology and how it can affect people in a good or bad way. Technology can is a great tool for society that provides a service. However, technology can also draw people to it and make it hard for them to turn away.
The reporters in the early 1900s had to be very detailed and descriptive in order for people to know what they were talking about. Today, we have televisions that broadcast all of the news stories. Many Americans sit in front of the TV every day for entertainment. Now we have everything we need right around us. The TV has a major impact on our society.
In America the twenties were a time of great extravagance and excess. It was a time of change inventions as the American normalities changed dramatically.

Harry Truman was the first president to use television as a connection to his people. Today’s current president, Donald Trump, uses the multimedia to address and connect with his people. The president before him, Barack Obama, also used the multimedia. When the government first came to be, the nation’s population was significantly smaller and the people that were allowed to vote were white, wealthy, rich, landowners. As time went on, the population increased and so did the people that owned land.
These days, people usually get news from online sources; however, in the twentieth century, the majority of Americans got their news from the television. In a speech delivered by vice president Spiro Agnew, he emphasizes the idea that media released to American citizens should have more fairness. He first mentions the influence of the television news to the American people, then discusses President Nixon’s method of communication through the use of television. He also discusses the criticisms Nixon’s commentators had made, regarding Nixon and Johnson’s speech. Towards the end of Agnew’s speech he specifically accentuates the importance of accuracy in the usage of media.
Even though the news could show many people the events happening, they didn’t always report the news
People today spend up to 319.2 minutes on television everyday! The television has dramatically changed since its invention in the 1920's, the first commercials were aired in 1940, and the television has played a pivotal role in human society. In the earlier years, the television was characterized by their tiny screens, black and white images, and turn-dial knobs. Television was simply the next logical step beyond the radio.
In the 1940s, televisions could only be found in a few thousands homes across the United States, and today almost all homes have at least one television. These devices are used for playing games with a gaming console, watching a favourite TV show and as a computer monitor for work and pleasure. Without doubt television is the most effective medium to deliver information to large numbers of people very quickly. News in one part of the world can be seen within minutes or even seconds in any other part of the world.
