Nowadays, the media has a significant impact on individual’s lives. This essay will discuss about how more access to information impact on the society, and I believe it is a positive development due to a better communication channel.
Human beings have more opportunities than ever before in terms of reading and following the news by using social media as one main accessible source. This becomes common for people to not buy the physical newspaper because the internet serves them with the current news and neccessary information at hand, which could lead to spreading fake news or sharing misinformation if they are not careful with the source of information they are exposed to. For instance, there was a lose-weight techniques within a week without any exercise or having a healthy diet sharing via Line application in Thailand and successfully deceit so many young teenages.
In contrast, I believe that there are certain positive aspects regarding of having media developed in our modern society because it enables us to communicate without losing time to travel to a certain place to meet and participate in an activity. That is to say that if people wanted to learn how to plant the garden in the past, they would have to join the class in person to be knowledgable enough for having planting their own garden. However, modern societies allow people to get access to value resources via multiple channels such as Facebook, Youtube and Tiktok for free.
In conclusion, although people have opportunity to access information which could probably lead to misunderstanding, I believe that communicating online using modern media is considered as a positive development.
