Abbreviations are shortened forms of words or phrases. In the past, when all writing was done by hand, abbreviations saved time and space. Today, when so much is printed about so many subjects, they serve the same purpose. Certain types of abbreviations, e.g. UNESCO, which stands for United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, are also spoken, if easily pronounced.

The growth of video has meant a decline in cinema audiences. Cinema cannot compete with the attraction of watching a video at home: it is more comfortable, easier, and, especially for a family, much cheaper. Another important factor is flexibility: people are no longer limited to particular times and places. Despite this, some people are still loyal to the cinema. Horror or science fiction films are better on a large screen, most films are still available at the cinema first and for young people, watching a film away from home is very important. Cinemas have adapted to cater for this minority audience.
