Assigned Entry #5 "The Power of Media"


Lately we have been taking a closer look at media and the power it has. I for one am blown away by the power that media have and the way it affects our daily lives without us knowing. When some people hear "Media" they instantly think of the news. Don't get me wrong the news is definitely media but did you know that the internet, books, videos, blogs, and a number of other sources are considered media. I truly believe that the internet is the most powerful source of media. I say this because I live in an era where people would rather watch a YouTube video than read a book. People would rather keep in touch with their friends and family on Facebook than to write a letter. I have to be honest I too am one of the people who fall into this category. Actual books and things of that nature is becoming 
extinct.
