I would write on either the influence of the new medium of Telivision, or the influence of Sputnick and the Cold War.
Hope that helps.
Good luck!

"The long shadow of the bomb". This was the age when the atomic bomb was big news. The Russians stole our bomb secrets. The movies were all about giant monsters created by the bomb. Bomb shelters became popular. And the McCarthy era happened because people were in such a state of fear.
