Origin And Origin Of Media

It can be agreed upon, that the media helps in times of conflict. Whether this may be as simple as an election, or as large as war, the media has been there. They show people what is happening, and inform them on how they can help. In the essays: "In Defense of the Media" and "How the Media Helped Win World War II" they both make the claim that the media helps during times of conflict. They each make claims of a time when the media was able to inform people of what was going on, and once the people were informed things changed.

With the advent of information technology, the ways different aspects of life work and operate have changed a great deal. Media has always had a great influence in molding the culture of a society. There was a point of time when television and radio were invented and when computer was invented and there was little connection between the two. Time then travelled fast then through the age of cassettes, records, VCDs, DVDs, flash drive and then the internet. Media also started to go satellite on a massive scale and there came a point of time when media and digital communication systems became closely integrated with one another, opening the dimensions to digital media.

Mass media is the technology through which people communicate. As the society changes, various aspects change including mass media communication. Traditionally, people used to communicate using various means like sending messengers. However, the way people send and receive messages has changed in the last century and the process has improved. (Turner, 2015). One can identify that various communities have changed communication techniques because of the options available. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the mass media development in the last century.

The new era of technology led to major developments in the evolution of mass media, worldwide. In our society, we originally communicated orally before the Internet and wireless devices existed. Individuals relied on traditional forms of mass media, such as the television, radio, newspapers, and magazines, to attain knowledge of the outside world. Thereafter, the development of new forms mass media evolved, and we were introduced to the Internet and other wireless communication devices such as IPads and tablets, smart phones and social media sites. Regardless of the rise and fall in popularity of certain forms of mass media, the evolution of mass media influenced the American culture greatly.

mid-twentieth century marked and evolution in the field of communication. It was an era when televisions were introduced. They formed a major source of entertainment, news and advertising. Advancements have been made in the field of communication and have resulted to varying and significant changes that have brought magnificent impacts that are witnessed today. Mass media and communication entails diversified media technologies. The technologies are purposed to reach large audience who are the mass. There are various types of technologies through which communication takes place. There are those technologies that transmit their information electronically such as radio, recorded music, film, and television. There is also the print media which involves the use of objects such as newspaper, book, comics and pamphlet to communicate. The other type of media is the outdoor media; such media comprises of the billboards, placards, and signs. In the cases of the public speaking and events, they are also termed as social media. In the recent years, the new digital technologies have caused significant changes in information communication and distribution. The digital media is the most current form of social media; it comprises the internet and the mobile mass communication. The internet media consist of services such as email, websites, and blogs, and there are also television and radio internet-based services. There are also many mass media outlets that have a presence on the web. For

Watching TV while having morning coffee, listening radio on the way to work, checking Facebook before work, tweeting in the lunch break, and googling information related to work; that is the way the new modern media has changed our lives. To understand the term modern media more, Debashis Aikat(n.d.), Associate Professor and Media Futurist, has come up with a definition, “Modern media refers to mass communication characteristic of recent times, or the contemporary communication relating to a recently developed or advanced technology(Aikat, n.d.)” So that basically means that modern media is the media which is connected to new technologies. Nowadays

Since media can inform people of what is happening, can change the way people think and can incite people to action, it is proper to say that the media is an important way of communication that is also helpful and

The media is a very influential aspect of modern day society that is involved in our everyday life and surrounds us invariably through different forms like social media and television ads. This century the advance in technology has initiated

The media is a complex term thrown around holding various meanings to those who hear it. However, media is just plural for medium. A medium for communication. Media has become as complex as we are and so are our interactions. According to Gladstone, “the media landscape is so cluttered with mirrors facing mirrors that we can't tell where an image begins or ends”(xxi). Everything within our society and even our bodies are interconnected and our media has become a product of this. But this interconnectedness makes it increasingly more difficult to decipher the media available to us. Similarly, it takes years for doctors to understand the connections within our bodies. We are a complicated, entangled people and we wouldn’t be satisfied with simple media. However, this leads to controversy and confusion within the webs of media. Likewise, there are always conflicts within our society. We cannot always catch up to the adaptations of media, but the media also struggles to interpret us.

Media is always an alternative story. Media is no longer being a part of the culture, but it creates cultures. In "Convergence Culture", Jenkins’s claim that “when people take media into their hands, the results can be wonderfully creative; they can also be bad news for all involved” (para. 39). Indeed, media brought human so many benefits and profit. However, like what Jenkin said, they can be the problem for the society. For me, if put two sides of the media’s outcome in the balance it would always be equal. Due to the development of technology, from first black-white television to the smart phone with many functions. With the phone on hand, people can connect to everyone, watch, listen, and learn. So who would control our activities on

First, the internet. The concept of the internet emerged as a mass medium in the 1970s and remained a platform for communication used mostly by educated, elite users until the development of the world wide web in the early 1990s. The internet grew quickly and rigorously in popularity as developers created web browsers that simplified the process of connecting via personal computers. Media organizations soon began to recognize the web’s value as a medium capable of transmitting and communicating information instantly and in greater depth and clarity than was ever possible. Over time, media groups began increasing their reliance on the web by building more sophisticated and complicated sites to display things such as video, audio, print, graphics, etc. Almost 73 percent of all US adults enjoyed having a connection to the internet in 2006, and a recent growth has occurred in the acceleration of high-speed internet service. More than 42 percent of American adults had broadband connections in 2006, which was a remarkable 40 percent increase in broadband use from a year earlier. News organizations were cautious and warry when they transitioned onto the web while journalists cautioned against almost a loss of control and maybe function within a more fluid, interactive environment. The need to change to keep consumers was overwhelming though and gave the organizations no other choice. Traditional print and broadcast organizations especially adapted to and/or embraced the change of medium with transmitting information because of the continued crumbling and decline of audiences and consumers. Because of the internet, journalism has changed a bit with how information is distributed as well. Now people are sharing and distributing information through blogs, podcasts, video sites, and popular social networking sites. Throughout the

In The Medium Is the Message by Marshall McLuhan, he explores new media in its most original, basic and pure way as an object, furthermore, he use the idea of the medium itself carries the message rather than the message, furthermore, to analyze how new media influence in the society. At the end, McLuhan explain the role of broadcast television (as a new medium) and how television itself become a “fixed charge” in people’s day-to-day living which we simply cannot live without it. (Marshall McLuhan 1962, p.209) Base on Mcluhan’s notion of how a medium formed in the past, if the idea still apply to the mass communication media nowaday as the media themselves shape the society regardless of the content it carries, or there is a new relation

Media has become a powerful source of knowledge, and a great breakthrough in human history. Who can regret that media is a daily need in our lives. Media has the ability and control to adjust to all levels of knowledge in people. Media helps us to escape from our daily lives and our problems in times of stress. Thou Media as proved to be beneficial by educating, entertaining and informing us, it has also have its downfall, to cause many bad influences to the younger audience. Media has influenced us to conduct bad behavior, breed violence among teens and fear to the public, thus causing a lot of negative conflicts among ourselves. Television, Music, Internet, and more, are just some of the media exposure that needs to be censored and

No one can deny the fact that media is the most powerful tool of communication? Communication and interaction are the constitutive parts of everyday life. Our morning starts with the news that we get from morning newspaper, radio or television. Every generation the developer has a plan to improve media. In the modern world, people consider media as one of the most requirements that people can’t dispense from it. Media is everything, and the world seems to be nothing without it. It is difficult to imagine how people get to know some important news without newspapers, magazines, internet, and radio. Everybody a lot of methods helps him to collect the information. This paper is about defining types of media and their differences, defining the important role that media played, and determining the advantages of media.

It can change opinions because they have access to people and this gives it a lot of strength. This strength can either be used constructively by educating the people or it can be used destructively by misleading the innocent people. Power of the media can transform the whole society especially in the developing countries it can be used as a 'weapon of mass destruction'. But I think the most important use of media is to educate the people about the basic human rights. The dilemma of the developing countries is that people are not fully aware of their basic rights and if they know, they don't know about what to do and where to go. They don't know their collective strength. Even they don't know how to protest and what is the importance of
