Magazines

In my house we have so many magazines, probably because my brother pesters my mom about buying a bunch for a school fundraiser until she gives in all because he can get a keychain with a monkey on it, anyways, the point I am trying to get at is that most people don't read magazines anymore. Yes, they read the articles on an electronic device, but they don't buy the paper product and read from it. This topic never really interested me until the lecture in class, but when it was first introduced, I wondered why those magazines my mother bought remained where they were for the past three weeks. Later in the lecture, Mr. Miller mentioned something about in the 1950's, when television became a thing, that magazines became more exclusive, or demassified. I imagine this was because most of the subscribers to magazines, switched to television because everyone else said it was so cool and very slowly drifted away from them.
