I like theater a lot. I believe this is a two street way where both the theater company and the audience connect and take away a good portion of the outcome of a play. I believe embracing the characters as an actor is one of the most important and difficult tasks. An actor is merely giving life to somebody they probably have never met and still have to learn to think, feel, and react as they would. I wonder if becoming different people multiple times a year, bother or affect their personality in any form or fashion?

Regarding features and documentaries, I believe each one has different target spans. A feature seems to target a wider audience; whereas, documentaries seem to target an specific target audience because they are longer and more detailed. Only people who are genuinely interested in a specific topic will watch a documentary from beginning to end. Features list only main points that audience need to remember in order to grasp an idea of what a particular concept is about.

In Chapter 7, the function of Internet is discussed. Nowadays, Internet not only offers all the formats of television and radio but also it is not restricted in in content as are the broadcast radio and television. The book shares,''Promotions and commercial connections that might be limited in the other media are commonplace in the Internet.'' I support this statement because, in our present society, digital advertising has become the epitome of social advertising. Social networks, Google, Bing, and YouTube are just some of the most popular networks used by companies and consumers to create publicity for a certain product or service. I am actually a firm believer that one's social networks should strongly reflect one's personality; therefore, one should be careful about what he or she posts, for employers explore these webpages in order to hire staff.

Will plays always be a source of entertainment for people or, like opera, will they soon become outdated and only accessible to the higher echelon of society?

Video games has always been a huge topic for families and companies around the nation when it comes to analyzing the cause of the violent or aggressive psychological state and child may experience. But studies have shown that children and even young adult who partake in video games tend to have better hand-eye-coordination and a faster processing speed that those who don't. Will education systems create a program that will use video games, ranging from violent to non violent games, to improve each of these characteristics in children?

I have always noticed the trend with music genre has always changed in either a new genre or older genres become increasingly popular. How do record labels and major music corporations prepare for the ever changing trend in music? Do they wait till the genre emerges in popularity? Or do they predict what is going to be popular and prepare before hand?

Preparation for interviews with interviewees on talk shows or in general interviews seem to be very complicated and time consuming. With the advent of technology and its increasing efficiency, will the process of preparing and filming an interview become more efficient and less time consuming or will the progress of technology only make the process of preparing for an interview more complicated?
