Movies and books came a long way

Books and movies are probably the best kind of entertainment in the 21st century.  People began reading and writing books during prehistoric times, not necessarily words, but they had pictographs that they can communicate and read with.  However movies were developed later, the first ever movie was made in 1903.   Of course when the first movie came out it wasn't like what we have been watching in the 21st century, high definition quality,  the compelling sound effects, and cool and realistic special effects.  The movies that  were developed back in the days were black and white, had glitches, didn't have the cool special effects, and were not as convenient.  We have come a long way since, I still remember back when i was about 4, we still had VCRs, and we would watch movies and record on our VCR.  A couple years later the DVD player came out.  It was smaller than the VCR, more convenient and had better quality.  What's new now? Blu ray discs, they have even better quality than the regular discs and some include never before seen footage or special features.  Books and movies have changed throughout the ages too.  Back in the 15th 16th centuries, probably the most important book to people were religious texts, then people began writing stories and with the help of the printing press they could replicate books faster and more people began to read while it became available to them.  The books that were written before our time were very different from today's books.  Nowadays you could read possibly about anything and the language has changed so much.  Words have been modernized  and some authors in my opinion write so we could understand it through simpler words.  Before our time, the books, to me, seem so learned.  The words that the author used had a very high vocabulary.  Like Shakespeare's play Hamlet, their is so much vocabulary that most of you might not know, because we have never heard of the words before or never used it before.  Even though books and movies have come a long way the concept has always been the same, movies and books are educational, a form of entertainment and a great way to spend your leisure time.  Throughout the blogs, I will be writing some of my favorite books and movies and I'll be discussing them also.  I hope you will be enjoying as much as I do reading books and watching movies
