[00:06.29]Comparisons were drawn¹ between the development
[00:08.71]of television in the 20th century
[00:11.03]and the diffusion² of printing in the 15th and 16th centuries.
[00:15.73]Yet much had happened (1)between.
[00:18.14]As was discussed before,
[00:19.97]it was not (2)until the 19th century
[00:21.98]that the newspaper became
[00:23.19]the dominant³ pre-electronic (3)medium,
[00:25.82]following in the wake of the pamphlet
[00:27.83]and the book and in the (4)company of the periodical.
[00:31.16]It was during the same time
[00:32.76]that the communications revolution (5)speeded up,
[00:35.79]beginning with transport, the railway,
[00:38.26]and leading (6)on through the telegraph,
[00:40.78]the telephone, radio, and motion pictures
[00:43.71](7)into the 20th-century world of the motor car
[00:46.52]and the airplane.
[00:48.14]Not everyone sees that process in (8)perspective.
[00:51.17]It is important to do so.
[00:53.09]It is generally recognized, (9)however,
[00:55.52]that the introduction of the computer
[00:57.34]in the early 20th century,
[00:59.26](10)followed by the invention
[01:00.47]of the integrated circuit during the 1960s,
[01:03.20]radically changed the process,
[01:05.72](11)although its impact on the media
[01:07.07]was not immediately (12)apparent.
[01:09.60]As time went by, computers became smaller
[01:12.20]and more powerful,
[01:13.63]and they became "personal" too,
[01:15.88]as well as (13)institutional,
[01:17.59]with display becoming sharper
[01:19.30]and storage (14)capacity increasing.
[01:22.13]They were thought of, like people, (15)in terms of generations,
[01:25.97]with the distance between generations much (16)smaller.

[01:29.40]It was within the computer age
[01:31.42]that the term "information society"
[01:33.44]began to be widely used
[01:35.17]to describethe (17)context within which we now live.
[01:38.90]The communications revolution
[01:40.72]has (18)influenced both work and leisure
[01:43.13]and how we think and feel both about place and time,
[01:46.87]but there have been (19)controversial views about
[01:49.08]its economic, political, social and cultural implications.
[01:53.02]"Benefits" have been weighed
[01:55.14](20)against "harmful" outcomes.
[01:56.76]And generalizations⁴ have proved difficult.
