After presenting my performance art piece I started noticing more people talking about this idea of cell phone tracking and questioning what apple has been up too. Here is a clip from south park that aired on comedy central two days after I presented m project.

War of the Worlds
Since listening to War of the Worlds I'm not as surprised that people actually got scared that an attack was actually happening. Orson Welles did a great job at creating suspense through the music and the dramatic voice of the Richard Pierson. It actually sounds as if this was really happening. I'm very surprised at how good it was and couldn't even imagine hearing this for the first time when radio was just evolving.

What happened between 1952 and 1971
A lot had changed between 1952 and 1971. In 1952 America was patriotic and and excited for opportunity. However in the years proceeding, many events took place changing the way Americans would see the world. First, the Civil rights movement took off in the early 1960s. In 1963 John F. Kennedy was assassinated, causing a state of shock in the United States. After his assassination the war in Vietnam started, causing major protest and unrest in the youth. When Nixon was appointed president things started to turn towards a more positive era but then was quickly marred by presidential scandal in 1972 where 5 men where arrested for involvement in a buglary that had ties to the White House. This caused much protest against the government and the people to fend for themselves.
