It
is believed by many people that
technology goes on every day. It is surrounding us right now, indeed:
computers, cell phones or cameras. All this kind of media communication is
becoming more popular and necessary in this “Techworld”. Nevertheless, have we
asked ourselves what this means?
I would like to
consider the fact of being informed most of the time. Thanks to social media
not only is it giving information about what is happening right now around the
world, but what is more, it is helping and encouraging us to be more
cultivated, and as far as I’m concerned,
to get used to reading more press about any topic. Should not social media
exist, would we be conscious about what is happening in our surroundings?
Furthermore, we should also consider the fact that you can consult any article
of any day in an easier way due to they are all saved on the net, hence, you
have access to all the information, articles, reviews or even photographic
reports that the media have posted, that way you can read the articles you like,
as long as you have an internet connection.
However, there
are also disadvantages. Since the internet started arriving at most of the
people it has made our life easier, although, it has also made easier to a few
minority to manipulate all the information we read. Have we ever thought why on
our social networks appears a determinate kind of information about an
ideology? The answer is that we are shown the information that big companies
and influences they want us to read. Certainly internet has a lot of benefits,
however, are we as free as we should be if they manipulate the information we
read? We have to be sane and rational about what articles we consult, because
they may be manipulated.
New media, as
all in life, has good points and bad ones, nevertheless,
we should look for a balance between the strengths and the weaknesses. Undoubtedly,
would we do more to prevent this manipulation.
