Original
Source Material: Media experiences equal human experiences
.... People's responses show that media are more than just
tools. Media are treated politely, they can invade our body
space, they can have personalities to match our own, they can be
a teammate, and the can elicit gender stereotypes. Media can
invoke emotional responses, demand attention, threaten us,
influence memories, and change ideas of what is natural. Media
are full participants in our social and natural world. |

A)
Reeves and Nass (1996) describe many experiments they have
carried out to test the theory that people interact with media
as if it were other people. They have shown in multiple ways
that even when people know objectively that images of people on
television screens are not real, or that computers are machines
instead of human beings, we treat these things as if they were
real -- were human.
