Hey guys, I am currently working on a thesis for a 60 page paper.... and was wondering if you guys can help me out. I got a couple questions I am sure some of you would have good input on.
OK, so if we look at the 20th and 21st century, would you say that technology is now helping the skeptic movement, or impeding it.
In the 20th century, electricity and technology (like cameras and what not), people werent as well educated on how they worked, and therefore were a catalyst to the spiritualism movement. Think spirit photography, and seeing electricity as magic and what not.
Nowadays, we still have people going around, tryig to film ghosts, or pick up voices on recorders and radios, BUT we have the internet, which allows us to spread information a lot easier. This however can be used against us, but for the most part we have media savy skeptics making memes and youtube videos promoting logic and critical thinking about the supernatural/paranormal and pseudo-scientific.
I am having trouble finding articles on 20th century technology and how it was used to promote spiritualism. I got a ton on spirit photography, but I am looking for things about radios, film, and recordings... etc.
Anyone know where to find some, or know anyone worth contacting for advice? Thanks in advance!
