They were considered a status symbol and since the power needed for them was demanding, they mostly were installed in cars they were not the cell phones of 2008.

However in this essay I will attempt to prove that New Media will not completely replace old media but rather change it, while transferring the power from governments and corporations, to the people. To do so I will start off by studying the users of new media and its audiences. I will then analyze the way it’s used. And finally explain how it has impacted mainstream traditional media, journalism and society as a
The U.S. produces almost double than what japan produces. I’m not too sure on what the number of Japan is but they are more populated than the U.S. and the U.S. still produces more.

In the 1920 the economic growth was rapid because of electricity, telephones, appliances and indoor plumbing took place. The fact that all of these things had taken place in the 1920, the United States needed to find ways to keep it going over the years.
Assignment One In Miles Benson article, Political consultants tailor candidates’ message to what the voters want to hear, he has several opinions and views on how political consultants, opinion polls and negative advertising affect how politicians want us to feel, react and ultimately vote.

Being specific seems to detrimental because too many questions are asked. Bill Hillsman, a media expert said that, “obviously, a candidate seeking votes is going to emphasize shared concerns and issues that are popular. But all too often political leadership simply means finding out what the people want and telling them you’ll give it to them” (Benson A3).
More than describing his reasons, he hopes that many other people identify with his ideas, so he don’t feel as the only one who degrades computers’ function.

When it comes to the building industry two major factors that lead to wage inequality are outsourcing and immigrants. The reason why immigrants cause wage inequalities is because they will work for less than the average American citizen. The only reason we outsource is to get the work done at a cheaper cost. Some believe that wage inequality was caused by educated people versus uneducated people.
Rin Riegel 12/1/13 Censorship in Music: Does it go against the Constitution? Music. Every teenager, adult, and kid in America listens to it.

In our economy today, I do not believe that people should be judged based on their color, race, creed, and etc., but they should be judge by their abilities.. That was the original purpose of Affirmative action. In my opinion I believe that those who fight for affirmative action are partially responsible for draining our society by taking the easy way. There are many who break the chain and work hard. There are many who take advantage of the system, even in my own culture. They use excuses to dis-empower themselves instead of empowering themselves to reach for something better.
