"Over the span of a single decade, VHS technology changed the relationship between privacy and entertainment, pried open the closed societies behind the Iron Curtain, and then sank back into oblivion. In the West, its advent deepened the trends of the age: individualism, consumerism, and the fragmentation of society. In the East, it encouraged new forms of socialization and economic exchanges, while announcing the gradual crumbling of government control over the imagination of the people. By the mid-1990s, the VHS format was displaced by the DVD, then by streaming. Yet the cultural legacy of the videotape continues to inform our relationship to technology, privacy, and to entertainment"-- Provided by publisher.
