Media prior to the 20th and 21st century...well, honestly, what media? A newspaper and possibly a man walking down the streets ringing a bell and yelling out what happened the day prior? This was the so called 'media' back in those days. There were no posters, no televisions to place commercials and documentaries on, no billboards or magazines, so I'm guessing that the media didn't really have that much influence over peoples thoughts. If or at the time of anyone in the world discovering global warming, unless in close proximity, no one else would even hear about it for decades! That's if anyone even believed the person. And we wonder why it's taken so long for word to get out about global warming. Well, media coverage is only one part, the part to notify the individual, the government, the world...yet it's not the only factor...

i wonder what will happen if we live back in the early 18th - 19th century. we will be freaking inventing everything! but as the world evolves, has the expectations from human beings increased as well? like, today, to be able to invent something new, you have got to be so super smart and so super damn creative - to wow others. wouldn't it be nicer to live the old life? and how about those people who has invented something or some things in the 20th - 21st century? have humans (they) become smarter than those who lived in the 18th - 19th century? because if we haven't (grown smarter and more creative) - then the 18th - 19th century people must've invented those. i'm pretty sure that this issue has something to do with media, knowledge and society.

but yeah- sorry guys, i'm just being random.
