What have I learned???

Well in this weeks blog assignment I am to write quit a bit and show less pictures....good luck to those that read this.

News....I hear that and think of the problems and issues going on in the world today. Where does it come from? I still remember getting the newspaper as a little kid and having to keep up with the events for class projects. Now the newspapers are in trouble because you can access all that you need on the internet. I can get that on my phone, my computer and just about anywhere. The internet has changed the world as we know it. One can carry the news with them, access it, and update it as you go. No more waiting a day for the updates, you can watch it as it happens. To me that is very amazing.
With the introduction of the internet that has affected everything we know. You can see the change in shopping, politics, and just about everything. I can get onto the internet and learn about my family and its past. I can learn about my religion and see what others may think. The cultural impact has been so explosive with the introduction of the internet. You can stay in contact with your friends form around the world, or converse with family in web cam chat. These are just a few ideas of what the internet has done for us.
Now as to analyze the the changes of the and growth of the mass media. That sounds like an overload of information. Mass media is the reference to all the different ways one can obtain the news, or knowledge of the afairs from around the world. This information has changed from being a few days old and in a hard print in your hand, to on the spot updates on the computer, you can look at it and get your fix while surfing the web. This has changed our society in that now we want everything now. You cannot wait for it. We are becoming the now generation, in that we expect everything in our hands or on the computer, or on the phone. I cannot beleive how much has changed even in my life time. The accesibility to the news, and the up to the hour presentations are making the news that much easier for all to get.
