About the effect of the media

 I found from www.youtube.com old films from the beginning of 1900's and the oldest was from English garden 1888. The oldest video looked first like as if it was not so old, but come to think of it, could the fist one have been not so self-conscious, not thinking what others see. I mean the idea was well thought of but the people more sovereign like here live I, instead f thinking that they are in sight sometimes very much and mostly not at all. Some old books bring a similar sense of people having been sovereign, not so muc looked at, more like opinion asked and asked to do some piece of work. So what is the effect of media and photograpfs? Should we somehow emphasize more our basic life and not just the photographed parts, even if other scomment ons eeing pictures? Is the effect of news similar? And why does it mean that many live kind of superficially, not so happily, waiuting for such occasions?
