Binge or Bible


            In my life and for this idea, I would like to be able to say that I am great at something. In grade school, I was never picked last for a team in gym, yet I was never picked first either. However, after 21 years there is one thing that I am better at than anyone else in the world: knowing movie quotes. There is something beautiful about being connected to others through repayable words in a movie, song or sitcom. The feeling of connection is a hunger that is never fully satisfied and only tasted in addicting doses. Today, we have shown that are known by all such as the classic show Friendsthat have connected the world through laughter and witty puns. This powerful art of connection can be related to and traced back by the connection society felt when it was given one of the first massed produced copies of print that could easily connect everyone. 
            The creation of Friends Sparked change in Hollywood. 1994 was the year of unconventional family television. Journalist Gwen Ihnat stated, “Friends did more than take off: It changed the sitcom landscape by breaking from many typical formats.” Typically shows were created around a family or a work environment. Seinfeld was the leader of this movement in a “show about nothing, these shows decided to create the idea to grow connections through the makeshift “clan”. Friends, did not have a specific plot because of the characters unparalleled chemistry that entertainment spoke on its own. It was an idea that sparked interest and it was up to the viewer to understand that beauty without being told. 
            In the year 1500, there was no separation between church and state. The monarch controlled all commerce and only the wealthy could afford church hymns that were sold daily. For the modern working class, the Incunabula was the first mass printed answer to their prayers. The “book of prayers” was the answered for the working class and allowed them to be connected through world like never before. Not only was this work beautiful, it was for the everyday man which instead of making it a luxury, it was almost a necessity. 
            Our world is a better place because of those who find a way to take who they are and what they want out of the world and match it with the hopes and desires of others. Out of this, we are blessed with need based and entertaining innovations that adhere to the ability that we must build and the world a better place. Friends changed the way people watched television and created standards for Television. Beauty in the concept was found and built off it. Comparing the way people saw god’s written word, Incunabala was a visual masterpiece as well as the original word of god. Both marvels changed the rules of the game for both industries.
