By: Abigail Menzies
What Is Media?
•   Media refers to various means of communication. For example, television, radio, and the
    newspaper are different types of media.
•   The oldest media forms are newspapers, magazines, journals, newsletters, and other printed
    material. Whereas the newest media forms are digital and often interactive e.g. internet,
    video games.
•   Media is used by almost everyone. Some people can use media to share thoughts and
    opinions through blogging while others may use media to keep up to date and in contact with
    everyone else in the world
•   The internet has become the main source of all media. Blogging, social networking, instant
    messaging all comes from the internet
•   77.3 % of the American population uses the Internet. This is 12.2 % of the world’s population.
•   When a survey was carried out asking people the reasons behind why they weren’t online
    52% said they were worried about online pornography, credit card theft and fraud.
    Nevertheless they all had computers just not connected to the internet.
The Change In Media
 •      Over the years media has evolved. From the simple black and white TV's to 3D
        technology, media technology improves almost every year.
 •      In today’s society more people are able to use media as it has become more affordable and
        accessible

        else on Earth.

How media Affects Us A Society?
•   Media affects us a society as the media is a good source of information and entertainment.
    Nowadays more people are turning to media for moral advice due to the fact that media is
    able to give us more answers compared to family and friends.
•   The media also affects our knowledge and awareness as it reinforces stereotypes. Most
    television viewers consider Arabs as terrorist because of the way they are portrait in the
    news.
•   Media can have a negative affect and positive affect on people. The positive affect: If there is
    a sport that is getting a lot of attention by the media and gains popularity among your friends
    and society, you will more likely want to practice the sport to fit in with the others. The
    negative affect: Many young kids become violent because of the violent games available to
    them through the internet.
•   The internet has been labelled as one of the main reasons for obesity. Nearly 38% of young
    kids would rather stay indoors on the internet than go outside and be active
