However, many people become trapped "in their times" by becoming fixated on movies made only in one time period while totally ignoring current offerings.
yeah, I agree with you there. I'm advocating being open to all styles, genres and time periods. These sort of people that are trapped in their times are not the ones who are going to seek out vlogs anyway.

We had cable for a while and had maybe 30 channels. I had it taken out because there was no more value in 30 channels than in 4. I was in NYC visiting friends and they had hundreds of channels and there was still not much to watch. > > Letting media "sink" to the common mindless level is a social tragedy.
