Multi-threading is a very important aspect to television today, but Johnson believes it has not received the credit it deserves. I agree that multiple threading has positive impact on television today, because of the different characters and plots make TV more interesting. Shows today you have to pay more attention to or you will not understand what is going on. For example The Wire, you have to watch every episode to understand the show. Shows with less multiple threading are easy to understand, because you can predict the ending most of the time.
Many people would agree that radio is the most effective way of getting Nazi ideology across to the German people. Both Hitler and Goebbels agree that the spoken word is the more effective than the written; this is because it allowed Hitler to speak directly to the public. As radio or “People’s receivers” also became widely available and more popular (by 1939 70% of households in Germany had one) the Nazi Party could reach more people, meaning it was very effective of mass indoctrination. Radio was very easy to control as proven by Goebbels who only let Hitler speak on the radio so his speeches can bring them to the nation and also by how quick Goebbels was able to take control of the airwaves, so propaganda was given main priority. However, this meant that the public could have found the constant propaganda boring so might not listen to it as much.
The TV was a great advancement, but it was competing with the radio. The radio soon began to provide more music, sport commentary and news instead of shows, this occurred when the TV became more common.

Kendrick Morency Mr.Mastronardi English IV Period 1 November 1, 2012 Television: The Major American Benefactor Throughout history, technology has revolutionized the way Americans have lived. Some examples are the computer, the telephone, and motor vehicles. Arguably, the invention that greatly influenced America was the television. Being commercially available since the late 1920s, the television set had become commonplace in homes, businesses and institutions, particularly as a vehicle for advertising, a source of entertainment, and news.During the 1950s, television had become the main medium for molding public opinion. The television has been proven to be a major benefactor that has changed the household and family life of Americans.
Some situations that the show brings might not happen in our lives, but it is good to have a better understanding of the situation than not to know. Most televisions shows are not about violence and drama. Cartoons shows like; Family Guy, The Simpsons, South Park and many more inform their viewers in ways that might seem unusual and might only seem as entertainment than educational. In the article “Family Guy and Freud, Jokes and their relation to the Unconscious”. Antonia Peacocke explains that every show has some education
Although Johnson and fellow couch potatoes would truly love to believe that watching TV works wonders on your brain, it is surely a fantasy with no relation to real life Johnsons’ main argument is that TV has gotten more complicated over the years and our brains have to compensate for that. The calls this the Sleeper Curve and defines it: “The most debased forms of mass diversion- video games and violent TV dramas and juvenile sitcoms,- turn out to be nutritional after all” (215). More simply put, that even if TV is really bad, it is still a force for good, improving our brains and not making us dumb. Johnson compares what you gain from TV to what you gain from reading: attention, patience, retention, and parsing narrative threads. The complexity of TV places demands on the same cognitive qualities.
Visual entertainment has shaped American culture and its value, it has changed the way we communicate with each other. Since 1950’s there have been televisions in homes, people were able to watch their favorite shows, and catch up on the world through the news. Soon after that cell phone came into place. People no longer see the value in communicating with each other face to face. Some would rather create a virtual living life and would “live there”.
(Also featured in They Say, I Say) Johnson, in his New York Times article, makes the profound argument that watching modern television, which is far more cognitively stimulating than conventional television, can actually increase the viewer’s intelligence. One implication of Johnson’s treatment of modern television is the assumption that each television program is as cognitively stimulating as the few examples he brought up, however; while the television may be “cognitively stimulating” it does not in fact improve or heighten one’s intelligence. , his point that complex story lines, like those found in The Sopranos and Heroes stimulate the mind a bit is valid to a certain extent. This article can be used in an argument about gender and popular culture to be representative of a changing media that is trying to be cognitively stimulating. There is a quote on page 775 that can be used that discusses sex and the media that begins, “It may be drawn toward the sensational where content is concerned—sex does sell, after all.
Betrayal of Trust: Hypocrisy and the Censorship of Art For the past 120 years people all over the world have been entertained with the invention of the moving picture. Proven to be a timeless art, it has evolved with the times in both the technological and sociological aspects of history. It began with the simple addition of sound in motion pictures and has come all the way to the birth of IMAX and 3D technologies. The advancement of motion pictures gave birth to another culturally relevant industry known fondly as television. Motion pictures and television have brought entertainment and joy to millions if not billions of people around the world, but along with the good comes the bad.
