The contemporary connection seen between today and the years of 1865-1914 is in entertainment. In the past people found entertainment in reading. However, it wasn't always through novels, which were seen as taboo and a form of "modern day pornography" that gives rise to evils. It started in the bible and newspapers and eventually moved to novels. Entertainment therefore, will never be the same for one generation as it is for the next. As the people in the time period of 1865-1914 were exposed to different technological advancements such as motion pictures, they began to slowly drift away from print culture. Just as today, how kids would rather opt to watch a movie, then read the novel the movie was based off. Even though print culture today can be found all over the Internet, kids would still rather watch a tv show or search social websites for friends. Entertainment for people is never stagnant and will continuously change for the rest of civilization.
