After reading the first chapter I have learned...
1. The pace of development in the media is becoming quicker and quicker, going from 350 years to get from the printing press to photography to only 80 years to develop still photographs into moving images.
2. A lot of media analysis is focused on the effects and behaviors it causes in society, This was mainly analysed in the 1940's/50's but is till popular now due too subjects such as 'Internet addiction'.
3. Media Studies only became a popular academic subject in the 1980's and 1990's.
4. The internet has transformed the media environment so that now the users are able to become the producers.
5. There is only a small number of big multi-national corporations which actually dominate the media ownership.
