educational and non-educational

there are many forms of text that we see every day. Some are music, billboards, clothing, trafic signs, buses, sculpture and others forms of art work, movies, news papers, and internet are just some. i believe that we use many of the forms of text for educational purposes and the others are simply for recreation and sales ads.
on the educational side, music is a big part of our society. we can learn many things from music and its history, we can also use music to relax or pump us up. traffic signs are a part of every day life and help us organize the traffic build up in or around major cities, these lights are very educational to new drivers. the internet is one our biggest tools in modern society, you can llok up any thing you would need. art is creativity displayed in its most educated form. educated art is creativeness controlled.
on the flip side movies and clothing and buses are all a part of a more recreational text i would think. most the stuff you read from a t-shirt you already know, as well as the text on vehicles. movies are a way to releave stress, unless its a documentary the movie probably wont be very educational.
