At present, the media affects people’s life significantly. What impact does this have on the society? Is it a positive or a negative development?

THE RECENT REVOLUTION IN THE DIGITAL

MEDIA

HAS HUGE IMPACT ON OUR LIVES.

THIS

ESSAY DISCUSSES THE INFLUENCES IT HAVE ON THE PEOPLE'S LIFE AS WELL AS THE NEGATIVE DEVELOPMENT IT HAS BROUGHT IN .

TO BEGIN

WITH,THE PREFERENTIAL SURGE IN THE USAGE OF VARIOUS ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT LIKE MOBILE PHONES,TABLETS AND LAPTOPS OVER THE TRADITIONAL ONES

SUCH

AS TELEVISIONS AND RADIOS HAVE MADE A HUGE SHIFT IN THE BEHAVIOUR , PREFERENCES , AND LIFESTYLE OF THE COMMON MAN.THESE APPLIANCES MAKE THE USERS SPEND MORE TIME WITH THEM WHICH DRASTICALLY REDUCED THEIR QUALITY OF SOCIAL LIFE AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.

ADDITIONALLY

,ESPECIALLY CHILDREN ARE BECOMING MORE VIOLENT AND LESS PATIENT .

AS A RESULT

OF

THIS

, THE MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH ARE

ALSO

SLOWLY DETERIORATING.

FOR EXAMPLE

, IT IS NOT SO UNCOMMON TO HEAR YOUNG ADULTS AND TEENAGERS GETTING A MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION OR AN ACUTE STROKE THESE DAYS . THANKS TO THE UNHEALTHY LIFESTYLE THAT CAME ALONG WITH IT.

SECONDLY

, LET US DISCUSS WHY

THIS

IS A NEGATIVE DEVELOPMENT.THERE ARE VARIOUS REASONS FOR

THIS

, OUT OF WHICH THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE IS ONE THAT THE MENTAL HEALTH.PARTICULARLY THE SOCIAL

MEDIA

CURRENTLY PLAYS A MAJOR ROLE IN DECIDING WHAT IS RIGHT AND WRONG.EVEN THOUGH

THIS

CAN BE HELPFUL IN SOME CASES

HOWEVER

THINGS OFTEN HAPPEN VICE-VERSA.

THEREFORE

THIS

HAS TO BE STOPPED WITH THE HELP OF COMMUNITY EFFORTS AGAINST THESE ILL EFFECTS.

FOR INSTANCE

,INCREASED AWARENESS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF BALANCED CONSUMPTION OF

MEDIA

FOR ENTERTAINMENT. TO CONCLUDE,CURRENTLY THE

MEDIA

HAS A LOT TO DO WITH WHAT,HOW, AND WHY WE THINK. KEEPING THAT IN MIND WE SHOULD MOVE FORWARD BY PROTECTING AGAINST THE NEGATIVE CHALLENGES IT BRING ALONG WITH IT.
