It is mainly attributed to the advancement of today's technology that political campaigns have changed. Today's technology allows office candidates to attain the attention of America on a much wider and more effective scale than in the past. Starting with the telegraph wire, to telephone, next we had radio. With which followed Television. Today, the recent generations' invention of the internet has allowed even greater access to the public than in the past. In conclusion, the major change in today's political campaign's is the development of technology, with which it allowed for greater and more widespread access to the public.
Here are just some ideas:
1.) They probably didn't use television to campaign like we do today
2.) They probably didn't use computers to campaign (computer ads)
I can't think of anymore!
