This is a crucial time for adolescents to stay healthy and active as their brains undergo massive changes from puberty until the mid-twenties.

Students get most of the news or information from the social media according to Rick Nauert, a senior news editor, “For most of the students reporting in the study, information of all kinds comes in an undifferentiated wave to them via social media” (Nauert). Electronic communications have disadvantages on students’ life.

Multimedia has been considered as an effective media for enhancing teaching and learning process. This new tool, with its various forms, is now common to find in many schools, from elementary to university. The word of “multimedia” is a relatively new and can be defined as the combination of different media (Cutting, 2011: 4) such as text, sound, image and video to convey information.

Both general communication and gossip have their advantages and disadvantages in everyday life and in the medical profession. Given that communication is defined as the exchanging of information through speaking, writing or other mediums, I would argue that gossip is just a form of communication, where information is shared about a specific person or group. [OXFORD DICTIONARY] As a result, I can see how people mistake gossip for communication and networking. However, gossip is most commonly malicious or derogatory in nature, regardless of the accuracy of the information shared. On the other hand, most other forms of communication in general have positive connotations as we can express our emotions whether they are positive or negative, we can share factual information and tell stories and we can facilitate teamwork. In today’s society, social media has allowed us to express ourselves and share information in new and creative ways. It has also made communicating easier than ever. In the hospital this means we can efficiently communicate with other hospitals, health professionals and clinics to improve a patient’s continuity of care. However, there are disadvantages to social media when it comes to communication.

Throughout all of its years, this world has become a birthplace to numerous technological breakthroughs. From the invention of the very first wheel to today’s quantum supercomputers, it’s obvious that this world has always been technology driven. These advances have aided in areas such as agriculture, communication, travel, and leisure. Leisure is defined as “time free from the demands of work or duty, when one can rest.” People go about various ways of filling their spare time, whether it be spending time with family or playing video games with friends. Handheld digital devices, like the Nintendo DS, have been around for years but the use of technology did not seem to present a problem until smartphones and tablets became popular in the early 2000’s. It is very likely that a teenager will come in contact with one, two, or maybe even three digital screens throughout the course of his or her day. Just like gamblers, users of this technology are on the search for instant gratification and immediate responses. Teens utilize computers to search for information and complete schoolwork, cell phones to communicate and engage in social media, and televisions to binge watch episodes of their favorite show on Netflix. While many argue that teens are not negatively impacted by the constant use of technology, detrimental effects of screen obsessiveness have become a concern in a teenager’s ability to focus as well as maintain social interactions.
