Media where we came from

How we got our media/news...

Super long time ago: on stone tablets
In the horse and carriage times: the 1 local bar
Pre WW1: The 1 or 2 newspapers
Mid 19th century: 3-5 tv networks NBC ABC CBS...
20th century: 20-50 "channels" of interest
Current: Google/Facebook filtering personalized channels of media for everyone

Watch this: Eli Pariser: Beware online "filter bubbles"

So much information and choice.
