"Understanding the media is vital to modern life"

Media has been around from a long time in one form or another, however during this very recent it has changed and become vital for everyday life especially with the development of internet. The purpose of media is to inform, educate and entertain to us.  Internet allows us to communicate with people all the way at the other end of the world, with social networks such as Facebook, twitter, messenger etc. This is a very cheap way for people to stay in touch with their family and friends around the world. It is also a platform for people to express their ideas, feelings and concerns. With the ongoing of time, the impacts of media have increased vastly to the extent that now Media can also control us in today’s modern society.

Media plays part in day to day activities such phones, emails, shopping and social sites.  Day by day we are becoming more dependent on media and it soured of knowledge. Media has helped us to be aware of the world around from local level to global level, everything can be found through internet and it’s easy and accessible. Business use media such TV, phones and social sites to Market and advertise their product. 

The good thing about media is that it caters all aged people, it useful to teachers, students, doctors and even old people. For example old age people can use to help them in their daily routines such as shopping online even mothers whom are busy or working can shop online instead of having to go out. Young people could use it in helping them to achieve their best in their education. Anybody could use it to entertain themselves by listening to news, favourite music or simple reading through eBook rather having than having to go to a library and get a book.  

Like everything in this world media has its positive and negative effects. Many argue that media is ruining the traditional lifestyle of socialising by going out or communicating with your family. However it has also helped to be aware of huge threatening problem of global warming. Media becoming something that we cannot hide from neither can we ignore it? It’s therefore vital in our lives.  I personally think that everything has its positivity and negativity it depends to how one uses it, if you use it will you will profit from it and if you make a mess then you will lead yourself into a problem.
