1. Give at least 3 examples (with details) where the lines between reality (history) and entertainment (media) became blurred during the life of William Cody (AKA Buffalo Bill).
Everything around William Cody, was evolving to fast when popularity over came him. History and entertainment can change up a bit of a persons life, to what they are towards their families and audience. William Cody was a regular man, trying to provide money to his family. Then all at once, everything happened so fast. People began cheering and shouting his name, as he began to preform to the world. The power he now had ,changed and blurred to what he was once known. It over came to his mind, this wasn't exactly what he wanted. Plus his decisions didn't apply to the right choice.
Buffalo Bill created the vision of Hollywood and celebrity, before everyhting has started today. Buffalo bill took stand in his life, and took a chance in order to become a know and succesful person in life. This shows comparison to other people of now a times consider media into negativity and destroy their careers. He then took in command to his duties, and never turned to what he enjoyed. He took risks and knew if it didn't succeed, and keep believeing to the end. This is why many people admired and attended to achieve like him. Everything wasn't about popularity or money..It was about having determination. That is what made him the "The original World Celebrity."
3. How could Buffalo Bill have benefited from new media? Who would have been some of his Facebook friends?
Media now a times can blow us away. There are extreme ways to communicate or to access across the world in todays culture and society. There are news on television or internet, magazines, newspapers, adverstisments, the internet, Facebook, Twitter, Tag, Myspace, telephones and much more that we can think of.With theses newly sources that keep developing, is no doubt easy to access anybody you know or anything you need.If Buffalo Bill had any of these accounts [Ex; Myspace & Facebook], which is a main source that everyone uses to stay in contact. He would most probably have -> Ned Buline, Texas Jock, His wife Lousi, Dock Carters, Nate Soulsburry, John Bork and Sitting Bowl.
