Description

Canada's Video Revolution examines the changes in communications technologies that occurred at the beginning of the 1980s and their effects on Canadian society.

Communications analyst Peter Lyman describes the impact of the then-new technologies--VCRs, home computers, video games, pay-TV--on Canadian cultural industries, examining their role in the quickening pace of globalization and their impact on Canada's broadcasting, recording, film and publishing industries.

Canada's Video Revolution is an immediate report on the intersection of technology and culture, written at a time of great innovation.
