“…Apart from the photographs, the band’s promotion consisted of television appearances. In the late 1960s, 95% of all households in America owned a television set and members of the population under 20 (who amounted to 41% of the population in 1965) were the most constant television viewers (Bindas & Heineman, 1994, pp. 22, 24).…”

“…Censorship of this kind was usual and it had happened earlier that year with the Rolling Stones when their song “Let’s spend the night together” was changed to “Let’s spend some time together” (Jones, 1991, p. 76). According to Bindas and Heineman (1994), many singers and groups said yes to such demands just to appear on the show because they believed in profit rather than principle (p. 27).…”

In the past 45 years since his death, Jim Morrison’s legacy, in the form of rebellious and antiestablishment reputation, numerous reprints of his photographs and the continued popularity of the Doors’ music, has elevated the singer from a 1960s sex symbol image to the status of a pop culture icon. This paper aims to trace the roots of his now mythical image by analyzing the components which have been identified as those that initiated its creation: his attractive physical appearance and the promotional material launched to enhance it, press articles that focused on his physique, his highly sexual and unpredictable live performances, and his verbal ingenuity shown in the interviews he gave with memorable catch phrases.

In this chapter, the various ways technologies have exerted influence upon cultures and societies since the dawn of human existence is examined. Be it man-made fire, sharpened stone tools and weapons, or cave paintings, humans are always inventing “something” to sustain or improve their lives and/or livelihoods, and generally make their existence more tolerable – and comfortable. The culture surrounding and thus influenced by technological advances differs from traditional definitive criteria of groups. A technologically-influenced society and culture is identified by its populace's ability to access and use its defining technologies. Nowadays social communication and interactions often occur with others across cultures, continents and socioeconomic systems as constantly evolving information technologies emerge as communication tools. In order to understand the role of technology's influence on our societies, we must understand the historical significance of various information and communications technologies' influence on culture and how changes in our interactions and relationships across all groups have occurred as a result.
