How media itself gotten better.

After a semester of thinking (and especially reading – at least this semester) about media, I’d like you to think about how media has changed for the better at some point in history. Please note that I am NOT asking you about media tools. I understand that, from a technology/sophistication standpoint, televisions as a *device* are demonstrably better. Ergo, modern televisions take up less space, cost less (once factoring in inflation) and use much, much less energy. Same thing for phones.

That means that I’m asking you about how media itself gotten better. How has radio (NOT radios) improved? How has television (NOT televisions) improved? Or what does the transformation from printed word on hard copy to digital copy meant in terms of improvement – if it is one – during the last 20 or 30 years?

That’s the kind of thing that I’m asking. Note that you do not have to pick one of these questions. If you want to comment on the improvement of video games between 2000 and 2020 – again, not about the consoles or devices – then I’m all ears. You can pick your own media on which to comment regarding improvements. It’s really that simple.
