In 1998 services moved ahead of manufacturing as the main product of the United States economy. But what is meant by 'Services'? Some economists define a service as something that is produced and consumed simultaneously, for example, haircut. The broader, classical definition is that a service is an intangible something that cannot be touched or stored. Yet electric utilities can store energy, and computer programmers save information electronically. Thus, the classical definition is hard to sustain.
The United States Government's definition is more practical: services are the residual category that includes everything that is not agriculture or industry. Under this definition, services include activities as diverse as engineering and driving a bus. However, besides lacking a strong conceptual framework, this definition fails to recognize the distinction between service industries and service occupations. It categorizes workers based on their company's final product rather than the actual work the employees perform. Thus, the many service workers employed by manufacturers bookkeepers or janitors, for example would fall under definition and suggest that, although practical for government purposes, it dose not accurately
reflect the composition of the current United States economy.

Up to about 1915, movies were short and programs were made up of several works. Then Griffith and other began to make longer films which provided the same powerful emotional appeal as did melodrama and presented spectacles for beyond what the theater could offer. Consequently, after World War-I, increasing number of spectators deserted the theater for the movies. This trend was accelerated in the late 1920's as a result of two new elements. In 1927, sound was added to the previously silent film, and then one of the theater's principal claims to superiority vanished. In 1929, a serious economic depression began. Since audiences could go to the movies for a fraction of what it cost to see a play, theater-going became a luxury which few could afford. By the end of World War-II, the American Theater had been reduced to about thirty theaters in New York city.

  unlike the eye, the ear has no lids. Therefore noise penetrates without obstruction. Loud noises instinctively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism, including human beings. In response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate. In fact, there is a general increase in functioning brought about by the flow of adrenalin released in response to fear. Because noise is unavoidable in a complex industrial society, we are constantly responding in the same ways that we would respond to anger. Recently, researchers have concluded that noise and our response may be much more than an annoyance. It may be a serious  threat to physical and psychological health and well-being causing  damage not only to the ear and brain but also to the heart and stomach. We have long known that hearing loss is America's number one  nonfatal health problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcer may be victims of noise as well.
