pal secam is 25 fps. ntsc donno...

probably just under 24.... if not, why NOT using a lesser frame rate in
movies for years now.Economy of material.
But I'll check that.
Retinal permanence when transferring to the brain.

in europe frequency is 50 cycles/sec. generally always 220 volts. So less
amperage and less energy loss for heat dissipation in wires.
smaller copper diameter in wiring is used.
so economy and security altogether.

between power and media ? ?
which power ?
electrical : possibly ( at least when the media pays his electricity
bills...:-D)
political : certainly ( when balancing information impact with possible
repercussion, f.i. on electoral processes)
social : doubtfully or a least insuficiently
human : hopefully .
