Influence of the Media in the Society

Over the past few years, the impact and the influence of the media had augmentedly grown with the use of the advanced technology.



 On the past generation there were only books, newspapers, magazines, audio devices and other stuff. But now we’re already isolated with the Internet.

Yes, internet has many benefits for people. But let me just ask you, are you aware of the different disadvantages of it?

Today, just about everyone depends on information and communication to keep their lives moving through daily activities like work, education, health care, leisure activities, entertainment, traveling, personal relationships, and the other stuff with which we are involved.




One of the most influential way of media is the social media with the use of social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Those three became the top social networking sites which are commonly used by many Filipinos. Yes I know that we want to share some moments of our life but we must know our own limits. We shouldn’t put EVERYTHING on those sites. We must THINK BEFORE WE CLICK OR TAP, because everything we post has an effect for every people who are viewing our profile.

Media is not for entertainment only. We trust the media as an authority for news, information, education and entertainment. Considering that powerful influence, then, we should know how it really works.
