From the Radio to Television then to Digital Media

What happened when the radio was introduced to the American people and the world? That's right they found a way to use it for entertainment. Families would huddle together and stared at the radio and listened to the programs. They would spend hours listening to the that little piece of technology because it was their form of entertainment, but what happened when television came along? ...yet another correct answer: That's right the Americans started to ditch the poor radio and they started watching T.V. Because of the invention of the television the American culture was able to grow around that. And thus Hollywood was born. Now there are film schools in L.A. and we as a country are ahead in terms of awesomeness in the film industry. Most of our blockbusters are big hits all around the world...forget Bollywood, Hollywood is where the parties at. But what if the American people started to ditch the T.V. like they did the radio? It's happening now as new technological advances are being made. This article tells us that society over recent years have started to deviate from the use television to the newer form of digital media. More people have started to use their smartphones for entertaintment other than phone calls.

Like there are two sides of a coin then there are two sides in film. First to make up a whole industry we have to make the movies. That is the creation of the product. The second part is the distribution of that said product. An industry is only an industry if it can manage to float above a profit. So that makes distribution a big deal. If more people are using their mobile device rather than the T.V. will certain television companies go under in the near future? Questions like these affect the futures of film industry. Certainly as different platforms emerge from our tireless society I belive, as a future filmmaker, that film should evolve with it. Maybe in the future the movie theatres would show holographics all around the audience instead of a regular flat screen. Something to think about.
