War Of The Worlds...

This was such an outrageous broadcast to listen to. Moslty because thinking about peoples reactions is entertaining, the fact that some people took this play so seriously. One part of the braodcast that really stuck out to me was when the people were going to go and fight these "aliens" that were supposed to come and attack them. I mean we all think aliens are cool when we are little then you take a science class and learn that they are not real, so that was crazy to me. Also how angry theses people were when they found out that it was not real and burned down the newstation where it was sent out from. I guess i should say the peoples reactions didn't really impress me but the media did. Learning how powerful the media is in our lives, it can make you believe something crazy that you think you know is not true but at the same time, you ask yourself why would they lie?
