Museums have changed.They are no longer places that one “should”go but to enjoy.

At a science museum in Canada,you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body.At the Children’s Museum in New York,you can play an African drum.There are no “Do Not Touch”sign in some other museums in the USA.

More and more museum directors have realized that people learn beat when they can become part of what they are seeing.In many science museums,the visitors are encouraged to touch,listen,operate and experiment so as to discover scientific rules for themselves.

The purpose is not only to provide fun,but also help people feel at home in the world of science.If people don’t understand science,they will be afraid of it;and if they are afraid of science,they will not make the best use of it.

One cause of all these changes is the increase in wealth and spare time.Another cause is the growing number of young people in the population.Many of them are college students or college graduates.They see things in a new and different way.They want art that they can take part in.The same is true of science and history.

The old museums have been changing and the government is encouraging the building of new,modern museums.In the States and Canada,there are more than 6 000 museums,almost twice as many as there were 25 years ago.

Tourism has become one of the most significant forces for change in the world today. Regarded by many as the world’s largest industry, tourism brings regular migrations of people, exploitation of resources, processes of development and inevitable  effects on places, economies, societies and environments. It is a phenomenon that increasingly demands attention.

Tourism Geography explores the factors that have encouraged the development of both domestic and international forms of tourism. The differing economic, environmental and socio-cultural impacts that tourism may receive are examined, together with a consideration of ways in which planning for tourism can assist in the regulation of development and produce many forms of tourism. Drawing on case studies from across the world, the book shows how geographic opinions can inform and illuminate  the study of tourism, and offers a review of established geographies of tourism to show how new patterns in the production and consumption of tourist places are fashioning the new tourism geographies of the twenty-first century.

The earliest films are quite different from the present ones.They were very short，lasting only one minute.To see simple action films of trains，crowds on the street and similar subjects，people needed to pay only one cent.

Later，a new method was used to produce magical effect and to tie a story together.The method was to put the beginning of one scene upon the end of the scene before.In 1903 a film was made about a train robbery.Many of the actions took place at the same time.The scenes moved smoothly from one to another.This was the earliest successful film.In that film，scenes filmed at different places and times were put together naturally.

A short time later，there appeared a whole hour of short comedy，travel and so on.These films were usually simple，rough and even vulgar.

In the beginning，actors in the films weren’t allowed to have their names known publicly.It was because producers were afraid actors would ask for more money once they became well known.But later producers found that films with popular actors in them could be sold at a higher price than those without popular actors in them.After 1910，actors were allowed to use their own names and won high fame.
