In my opinion, I believe that this statement to be true. Firstly, one example of this, Wesch said about television. When television became the dominant medium in the 1950s, it changed the way families interacted. Family members began to sit in front of the TV to watch rather than face each other to talk. The people on the television spoke, and the TV viewers listened. In this one-way type of communication, only the people on TV had power. Only they had a voice.
