Development of movies (Ch 9)

Before world war 1 the main source for entertainment was photography. Then began to develope the idea of making the pictures look like, they're actually moving. After motion pictures had been created, and seemed to be better then just watching a picture. People began doing research on creating a machine that could not only take picture but one which could record the picture for certain amount of time. This led Thomas Edison straight to the idea of inventing something that would be helpful to the world, but eveybody didnt agree that this invention would positively help. Some people thought it was actually poisoning the minds of children.
