hey, all. one thing i've been batting around for my ASB ATL is that the general technological POD is during the French Revolution and starting with photography, of all things. that's a little beside the point of this thread, though.
basically, assuming that non-sound motion pictures are developed and become widely known and used by news agencies by the 1860s, what does everyone think the social effects of this would be? one that i've heard before (or came up with myself, i can't remember which one it is) is potential repercussions it could have on campaigns waged by the US military against Native Amercians if film of battles, casualties, and massacres is recorded in full motion and seen by the populace.
