Influence of Visual Media on Culture

Influence of visual medial on culture has gone on for many years. Visual entertainment media is a part of everyone’s everyday lives.

It is hard to know when the first movie was made, I have seen everything from 1888 to 1895 for the first movie. Families have been having family night for generations. They used to sit around a table and play games, or go to the skating rink, or bowling. They would visit a drive inn theater to watch a movie together. Now families everywhere gather around the television to watch their favorite shows, or entertainer. Primetime television is a way of family bonding.
Movies have changed the way people act, dress, talk and walk for a long time now. Movies such as Star Wars, Star Trek, Twilight, Harry Potter, and Lord of the Ring movies have such huge followers.
