Of all the media, television is the most persuasive.  It has most of the senses...sight, sound, motion, color, and depth perception.  It influences our lives on a daily basis, either directly or indirectly.  Individual attitudes, societies, and cultures can and do change behavior because of this influence.  Throughout this course, television will be the focus because it is the catalyst for all other electronic media with emphasis on the convergence of multimedia systems.  However, the Internet and use of computers to search for information, make personal contacts, and shop for products and services is making inroads as the 'primary' source of media information for many people.
