Magazines!!

Did you know that when magazines were first made they were NOT made for invading celebrities personal lives by stalking them for twenty-four hours to get a RARE NEVER BEFORE SEEN picture of them walking their dogs?!?! (insert gasp here) Nope, sorry to let your hopes down there but they were definitely more interesting back then. Instead of nowadays opening a magazine to see a famous celebrity without makeup on (even though we know that's SO interesting) back in the 1820's people opened magazines to read jokes, the news, fictional, stories, political news, recipes, comics, anything you can imagine. It was for everyone that included everyone's interests. It's amazing how "fast" things changed from then until now.


It's also amazing how something so popular could be destroyed so quickly by things like radio and television; with all the new technology the magazine industry just kind of... crumpled. The only two choices left were either to change the whole industry itself or just destroy it altogether. So, the turn of events led to the era of paparazzi and making the interesting, important. So, next time I stumble upon an article in a magazine about how famous celebrities eat at McDonald's (JUST like we do...) remember, it's okay to blame it all on T.V.
