There were various types of technology that influenced education from 1900-1990, but I personally feel that film was the one technology that impacted English classes the most during this historical time period. Vanessa Domine in "A Social History of Media, Technology and Schooling" and Rethinking Technology in Schools points out that teachers feared that they were going to be replaced by instructional films. Also, film was used by advertisers as a form of propaganda to shape students' thinking.
