The new media has reformed society as the delivery of media content has caused the growth and increased diversity in society. This was caused by the development of digitalization where a wide range of formats has combined together creating a digital convergence. Digitalization allows information to be delivered across a range of media platforms. For example, what was once only available on the TV is now available across a wide range of formats such as IPad, iPhone, computers etc. This shows that the extent of digitalization has contributed to the growth and increasing diversity of the new media on society.
The varying sources of media are relied upon everyday by the general public as a source for gaining information whether it be factual or fiction and the media sector is therefore very lucrative and profitable. The recent increase in social networking websites has provided a new gateway for media, with popular sites such as ‘Facebook’ gaining $700 million in 2009 (Eldon, E 2010). However, the film industry, which has been operating since the early 1900’s, is the topic which will be approached in this essay and its accordance with the vehicle strand. The vehicle strand “relates to the carriers or vehicles of communication” (Valdivia, A 2003) to which films is one of them. This essay will analyse the theory of genre within the vehicle strand and applying it to the critically acclaimed 1975 film ‘Jaws’ by Steven Spielberg.
The USA then went onto create the first B-52 long-range bombers. These where able to fly 6,000 miles and deliver a nuclear payload. Such a development required massive financial backing from the goverment, something which America could afford to do and Russia could not. These also show that America was ahead in the arms race as the USSR where unable to transport nuclear weapons to anywhere near the distance that the Americans where able to do causing the USSR to become even more secure. On the otherhand it could be argued that it was the Russians who where ahead in the arms race with things such as the USSR's first Hydrogen bomb test in August of 1953.
The 1920’s saw a shift in culture no other era had experienced thus far due to the growth and dominance of advertising. Technological inventions of this century, such as the radio, the billboard, and the magazine, brought ideas and information to people in new ways, impacting the entire social lifestyle of the time. Peoples live were suddenly filled with voices and signs telling them exactly what to buy and what they should. The happy-go-lucky and ‘nothing to lose’ persona encompassing the citizens of the time only fueled their decisions to go ahead and buy these offered products. Items were being offered that had never been on the market before such as refrigerators, telephone sets, cookers, the Model T by Henry Ford, and an endless amount of domestic hardware and commodities.

Akio Morita, the founder of SONY, was born in Nagoya, Japan, in 192. In 1946, Morita joined Masaru Ibuka to found Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo KK (the Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering Corporation). At that time during the World War II, they only had $375 and an abandoned department store as their work place. Under such circumstance, they still built the first tape recorder in Japan, named “G-Type”. The tape recorder was big and bulky, so it couldn’t bring their company to the market, but it couldn’t stop their steps either; to pursue their strategy of introducing innovative products, they bought rights from Bell labs to build transistors.
In an ever advancing world, we are constantly being bombarded with new technology. One of the most life changing pieces of technology was the personal computer. Throughout the past decade computers have advanced even more and almost everyone has one of their own or access to one at places like a school or library.

Although the computer is fantastic in many ways and has helped improve civilization’s way of living, have people all over the world come to rely on this device too much?
A single factory might hire thousands of workers. These jobs brought people to the cities. Third, the factory system allowed ordinary Americans to own all kinds of things. There were more goods to buy, and they became cheaper as methods of manufacturing continued to improve. For example, the first cars were so expensive that only rich people could afford to buy them but cars became cheaper when Ford invented the moving assembly line and the work went faster.
The printing press was a corporation of machine duplication, rapid duplication, and faster production. These three components were necessary for mass-market improvement. Material and suggestions could now be spread faster and further than ever before. With the progress of the printing press, fabrication of mass amounts at lower costs per unit became necessary in mass production of additional goods. The Industrial Revolution, modern capitalism, and the consumer culture of the twentieth century were results of this.
