Do Media Shape Us or Do We Shape Media?

Technology is very rampant in the society nowadays which helps the lives of the people easy .Media is a communication channels  which news, entertainment, education, data, or promotional messages are disseminated. There are three types of media which is print, broadcast and new media. In this generation new media is very rampant, most of us using social media like Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, twitter and more social media apps.

In my own perception in life I think media shape us because it affects the lives of the people. Before people listen to the radio and read newspaper to know what is happening in the society but today most of us used gadgets like mobile phone and laptop to know what changes or issues in the society. Aside from that there is a lot of people that lack of sleep because they are still awake until midnight in using social media apps. As a student there’s a tendency that it can distract our studies if we didn’t know how to limit ourselves in using it and use it in a proper way. It can also affect the grades of the students because instead that they study in the evening but they prefer sharing posts, scanning on Facebook, and posting their picture and video. Another reason is even children is now engaged in using social media at an early age. They might forgot the quality of being a kid.

That’s why we should should not forgot the past even there’s a rapid changes in the world. We should give importance to it because this is the reason why there’s new one. Let us limit ourselves in using media especially social media because it can ruin our reputation and dignity as a human.
