Abstract
The film and music industry have both evolved drastically during the past decades. From vinyl records to CD’s to digital mp3 files in the music industry, and from cassette tapes to mp4 files in the film industry. The evolution in both the film and music industry is most likely a result of the practicality demanded by the society. Individuals often seek easier and cheaper alternatives. In both of these relevant industries, the most practical solution is of course to have instant access to demanded content that is merely software and requires no type of disc. ...

In the 1930s, American culture was at a crossroads. In the middle of the Great Depression with a failing economy, still reeling from both World War I and Prohibition, crime was on the rise. Organized crime and gangs were a part of the media zeitgeist, as Al Capone, Chicago mobs and other big-city trades peddled drugs, alcohol, and sex. The presence of these vices, and their increased prevalence in American culture, demonstrated the need (or at least the desire) to combat them through preventative measures and cautionary tales to make sure the youth of America did not get lured into these same ...

Of all kinds of entertainment, movies are, by far, the single most popular type. People are so used to watching films cablecast on TV that they cannot envision the time when no sound was to be heard coming from beyond the screen. Indeed, it is difficult to imagine soundless motion pictures, which used to be a reality more than 100 years ago. Cinematographic was an infant industry in the second half of the 19th century. However, in the early 20th century, experts created the first movie with a synchronized sound coupled to image reproduced on the screen. Actors and film directors ...

War and technological innovation have often gone hand-in-hand. Advancements in weaponry are, of course, inevitable under the circumstances of armed conflict, but the necessities of logistical concerns like supply, transport, communication and medicine are likewise sources of invention. World War I, a global conflict the likes of which the world had never seen, yielded an unprecedented number of technical advances, the magnitude of which were commensurate with a conflict large enough to destroy the old world order. This was the first war that brought entire citizen populations under fire. As such, it was inevitable that the world’s governments should turn ...
