In this contemporary world, technology has developed in distinct ways and this development has brought several means of communication among people. While there are numerous advantages to each of the mediums for communicating information, several shortcomings are also embedded that come along with the advantages.
To commence with, the first and foremost is films, in which various scenarios are portrayed and displayed to the audience, by which particular messages are conveyed. People really love to watch movies in their leisure time and sometimes they manage to find the appropriate time from their busy schedules to watch films. Therefore, it is one of the great ways to deliver message. However, at times, false narratives are also portrayed within society through this channel. For instance, a blockbuster movie made people aware of the condition ‘dyslexia’ through which people became considerate towards children suffering from that. Consequently, violence based movies give arousal to aggression within society.
In contrast to films, radio is an audio mode for communicating information where people can only listen to the speakers or DJs. Moreover, unlike films, radio does not require its listener to be free rather it can easily be listened, while performing other tasks like driving. Nevertheless, a decline in its usage has been observed in the last couple of decades. This means of communication holds the same drawback as its strength. Since people whocan not watch anything from it, they tend to unrelate to it.
Furthermore, books are considered to be big sources of information. People enjoy reading books at different time spans. Many educational institutes and parents, at their own end, prefer to develop the habit of reading in their children from adolescence. On the other hand, there is a significant number of people who do not like reading books. They mostly claim that they cannot cross-check the provided information and require more focus to understand the depth. Another disadvantage that plays role in the decrease in its popularity is that it needs proper source light for its reader to read.
