Art and Entertainment

In entertainment media the consumer is consumed rather than enlightened, which is the main point of art. Advertising is one of the most common attributes of today’s media. It is the media itself that exploit its audience to the companies and products that endorse and produce them. Companies pay the media industry to regularly view their product in hopes of purchasing it.

A common occurrence with media is the relation of falsified information. Useful information has the power to cause change where as misinformation can cause chaos. In today’s world most of us accept information that is incorrect without thinking twice about it. Without the complete knowledge that the information they consumed is false, they are more likely to pass on the information, embedded with their own opinions and biases. On the other hand the most entertaining media happens to be the shows that encompass once sided arguments.

With today’s technology people have the power to relay information with the touch of a button. With modern technology like Facebook and Myspace we are able to find any thought that the author wants to convey. More often than not we are able to find thoughts about things that have to meaning or matter to anyone else other than the author (ie. What the author ate for dinner or what they are doing at every moment of the day). Youtube has made vocalizing thoughts easier, with built in cameras in your computer and touch-of-the-button recording, making videos has never been simpler.
