In todays society media plays a main role in our daily life, we tend to rely on media for knowledge and entertainment for example the internet, newspapers, tv and radio. These technology used are improved and changed rapidly, its fascinating how today's society uses media ever so often then before in 1950s when internet was first discovered. The history of the internet started in 1950s and 1960 with the development of computers; this began with point- to-point communication between main frame computers and terminals. After some time it changed to point-to-point communication between other computers. As you see people didn't rely on the media for entertaintment or knowledge,they used their own entertainment and found knowledge in a different way. Our society is lacking on that we have become so lazy that we rely on entertainment for commuincation, entertainment and news.
Although Media is very useful in today's society , it helps to have a clear understanding of whats going around the world, it's significantly changing and getting better each time. For example the facility to connect to people and to share and receive all kinds of news all around the country, which also informs us day to day facts, however it does have a negative side to it. Sometimes the media can be biased and stereotypical minded to other cultures and religion, and discriminates them while portrays them in harsh way , which as result changes peoples views about certain cultures and religion. However over all media comes with a positive side and also negative side in todays society, it all depends on how you see and understand things.
Media's main target is to have an impact in our daily life routine to influence us maybe for the better or for the worse, they also want to inform us about urgent information and also new entertainments that people may like. Media fits into communication; they both have the same aim to give our society a better world which we all want a modern world that keeps improving. it keeps us updated, and makes us have all kinds of moods for example sometimes some news makes us surpised, shocked, happy and sad.
What shock me the most is that we have the ability to speak to people live on the internet, were we can see and hear our loved ones this site is called ''skype''. ''Youtube'' is also a very fascinating site its full of all sorts of things like music, talents, news, programmes and films, although it does have a negative side to it for examples videos of fights and girls pictures which are discriminated, over all its excellent site and easy to use all around the country.
Facebook is one of the most fast growing website, there are people signing up every 2minutes all around the country, apparently ''if facebook was a country it would have been the third biggest country''. Its great site it comes with all sorts of things you can meet new people all around the country every time, its beneficial for everyone friends, families, businesses that advertise products, tv shows, films , shops and celebrities.
Have you ever asked yourself how today's society would be without internet and the media?, well many of us use internet to communicate especially those that are 11 and over. From email to chat forums, social networks life facebooks, dating sites and also there would not be a strong communication between country to country. Virtual worlds rely on the internet for social communication and networking which is very massive and an important method which is used.
So its quite obvious to expect that life without the internet would make people go back to the beginning of time were you needed to socialise and communicate on a very basic level. Its simple remark that internet changed and improved the world and lives we live in, we communicate quicker, we could buy and sell quicker and we could also find news quicker. So without internet our world would slow down in business, society and communication. Almost all businesses nowadays have some link to internet whether its an easy business listing or an online store, possibly world wide recession, stock markets would fall down, millions of business would get ruined and millions of people would loose there job.
To be honest i see myself addicted to the internet i like to use it for everything information and entertainment, i dont know how i would cope without internet and media. Media plays a huge part in my life, i have always relied on it and never experienced a life without it. However i believe that busincess that started before internet and other technology used nowadays, would cope succesfully. Also people that were brought up in life without caring for media and internet could also cope, because they only relied on themselves and other sources which do not link to internet and media for example 'books'.
In conclusion, the media is vital to everyones daily life, we may not know it but its true for instance picking up newspapers from the train station on our way to work, sometimes we listen to the radio in morning to hear if there is any traffic in a pacfic area. I grantee you that at least 98% of people check the weather news before going to work, school and other places. Media is used in everything we do in today's society, people sometimes just think social network and the internet only involves the media however that is not always the case.
