Magazines
The first magazine was created by Ben Franklin. It was the first medium to ever reach every niche audience which is what led to the major success of it. Until of course, newer technologies replaced the Magazine just like many other mediums throughout history.
I think the magazine doesn't get enough credit for its uses in the American society. I believe that magazines created cultural ties in society back in its prime. It would bring people together to read iconic American literature and talk about news and different stories.
Nowadays, people don't connect on the same personal level now that we have the Internet and other instant communications. We don't come together to discuss literature anymore. Now we talk about how many likes we got on a post or how our lives would be ruined without wifi. Although I'm thankful for these innovations, I feel that going back to magazines would make Americans more educated and culturally rich.
