@Nath_burn Something that interested me was the whole idea that communication is forever breaking down, and that with every new communication technology, there will always be a kink in it that prevents the true "mutual connectivity of souls".

@NickRandolph87 Yea, I wonder if the average person realized FDR's strategic purpose of using the radio as easily as people today can tell Trump's agenda for using Twitter as a means of communication.

@jheekin1 It could be because the US has been established as a dominant superpower, so when our influence reaches other countries, those countries may think that it would better their country as whole.

The addition of slow motion to a close-up or a point of view scene can increase prosthetic memories because it really gives you time to just sit there and ponder about what the character is experiencing, what you are viewing.

When an actor improvises a scene and that scene actually makes it into the final cut of the movie, I'd say that's a glimpse of that actor's aura that we say stage actors have.

I'd say television back in the 90's and earlier was more influential on its audience than today because people didn't really have a way to know what was reality and what was fictional, like we easily do today.

Modern movies can sometimes get by with having a lackluster plot by having spectacular visual effects, but classic films really had to have a great plot in order to engage the audience.

I think plot twists are like the narrative version of cinema of attraction because sometimes they're just there to shock the viewer.

In order to capture the attention of the public, news stations would rather cover intriguing stories that spark conversation, than things that relate to the their actual audience.

As the news becomes more politicized and parties become more polarized, it can be even harder to know what information to trust as credible.

@minhtopotato That's so true.

What do you guys think about nations that are also religious communities, such as the Jewish community?

I feel like I would remember more from a video than I would from an image. But then again, a video is just a combination of still images.

Photography is practiced as a social right, as Sontag mentioned. That is why it takes a lot to make a career from photography because you have to be distinguish from just anyone with a camera.

@kevsandy98 I think he would see them as just as problematic because the purpose of the semi-nudity is typically to arouse some sort of reaction/emotion from the viewer.

A picture really is worth a thousand words. Even hundreds of years ago.

Dialogue is more closely related to oral societies than dissemination. For example, when it comes to apprenticeship, that was one-on-one communication rather than one-to-many.

Peters says, "[l]ove that cannot be generalized or universalized is, for Socrates, not love at all." Doesn't that directly contradict Socrates's stance on dialogue?

@jtemko18 I agree. If you receive a story that brightens your day and a story that makes you upset through the same medium, it's going to have a different effect on you than if you receive two upsetting news stories on different mediums.

It's cool to see how other communities value human interaction over convenience and efficiency. That certainly isn't the case here in America.
