Mexicali, BC, November 12, 2014Impact of media on societySocial media is changing the way we are perceived, both positively and negatively. Every time you post a photo, or update your status, you are contributing to your own digital footprint and personal brand Amy Jo Martin. As Amy Martin said media is changing the world, it has become so essential for our daily basics that we had become in a completely new type of society. Its very important to know, what media has done to us, is it good or does it affect us?In the past few years media has expand, becoming a massive need to all of us. But we havent thought about the consequences. First, lets think how does media affects us academically. I think media has improved the quality of education, people can search for any school doubt they have and the internet will just solve it instantly. But it also has some cons, one of the is that internet made students lazier because before media exists they used to look up for information in books, so they used to read a lot and now information is just a click away from us. Media also affected the way information travels, it revolutionized the way the whole world communicates. News travel around the world just in seconds, you can be notified of any relevant event at any place in the world. I think this helped to unify the world, and also many social areas. But the information traveling so fast can confuse people, many news that are in the internet may not be completely true, so passing fake information someday would cause a problem. But one of the most shocking consequences for me, that media has provoke is in our social life. People nowadays dont interact with others, they just communicate through their devices, there is no more social interacting. Even kids are stuck the whole day in their ipods, ipads, etc., being that less than 10 years ago kids went out to play an coexist with the world and others. Young parents are teaching their children to depend in technology. Im concern if coexisting with others will disappear one day.

To summarize, I think that media has given us so much comparing to what it has taken. In my opinion, I consider society will adapt to this new type of living, maybe we wont coexist as much as we used to, but human is naturally social so interacting with others would never stop existing.
