Identify a technological invention or change that had a significant impact. Focus on something specific; don’t summarize the history of a medium. for example: the invention of the CD, not all audio recording

Explain the impact that invention or change had on the media industry. for example: for one thing, CD’s allowed music to be recorded and played back at greater clarity and sturdiness than cassette tapes cite our textbook, mix it up, at least once in your explanation of its impact. Use and cite at least one source from our library’s database holdings (such as ebscohost or Lexis/Nexis, etc.) in your explanation of its impact. a regular internet source will not meet this requirement.

Discuss why, how, or in what way(s) this invention or change was significant to the culture. (for example: CD’s helped get people ready for a digital environment.) or: option two: milestone/touchstone event identify a popular culture event that qualifies as a media milestone/touchstone. for example: Orson Welles’ “war of the worlds” broadcast

Explain why that event qualifies as a media milestone or touchstone. for example: “war of the worlds” demonstrated the emotional impact of radio and radio’s effect on information sharing cite our textbook, mix it up, at least once in your explanation of its qualifications. use and cite at least one source from our library’s database holdings in your explanation of its qualifications. a regular internet source will not meet this requirement

Discuss why, how, or in what way(s) this media milestone/touchstone was significant to the culture.
