I had no idea what Dr. Laurel was talking about when she mentioned "the Spectacle," so I decided to investigate. After doing a little bit of research, I found this quote on Wikipedia:
“We live in a spectacular society, that is, our whole life is surrounded by an immense accumulation of spectacles. Things that were once directly lived are now lived by proxy. Once an experience is taken out of the real world it becomes a commodity. As a commodity the spectacular is developed to the detriment of the real. It becomes a substitute for experience. ”
