What Are The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Media

In 20th century, every human being on the earth is familiar with television, internet and other form of media. We can see the effect of these forms of the electronic media in our daily life.

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.

In the 1970s and 1980s, books, newspapers, and magazines were printed on large presses by national and multinational publishing houses. Print was a flourishing industry that had managed to overcome any challengers, including television and the radio. Any legitimate writer, academic researcher, scientist, or journalist was published in print. For those seeking the most up-to-date, respected, and accurate information, books, periodicals, and newspapers were the chosen source. This is as it had been for many years, and it seemed that this would be so for hundreds of years to come. Until, when in the early 1990s, a relatively unheard of new technology called the Internet, which had begun in the early 1960s as a government and scientific computer network, began to emerge on college campuses and in other areas (Courtright, 2002). So as mentioned, there are two media that have been used nowadays which are printed media and

In the 1600s, critics saw the increased production of books as a threat to society, because they feared that people would not be able to keep up and process the information at the same rate as it became available.

Ann Blair offers quite the opposite perspective in her article titled “Reading Strategies for Coping with Information Overload ca. 1550–1700,” where she demonstrates that the plethora of books, rather than numbing the minds, in reality cultivated new learning methods while making reading a more personal and intellectually stimulating experience.

Moreover, she points out the potential dangerous disaster to our life without the glacier and how society is being selfish . Ultimately, she addresses it not too late to rescue the glacier.

Books have been transformed and changed throughout the history of time.

In Poggio’s journey, the author describes in grave detail the development of books from old monasteries, how they were reproduced during that time, and how they lasted so long.

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.
