New Media and Society

What have been some of the effects of the new media on society?

I can say that new media has had a major impact and effects on society as a whole. There have been I know for sure an increase on cyber crimes, internet stalking, money loss/gain etc.

Although new media is the way to go, who is really benefiting from? The creators or the users? 

We as consumers have to be aware of these things and not remind "blind" on the subject/changes at hand. We have to think- is this helping me?

For example- Facebook- we all know this is a big multi-billion dollar site now, but is it more a benefit for the users or the creators and its investor/business partners?

Pros for User-
Access to friend and family, find old friends, reminders of birthdays, "investigating" (stalking for the stalker just got easier)

Cons for Users-
personal information in the public, numerous advertisements and ads, stalkers, jobs doing "research" before they hire you, etc

In my opinion it's a very thin line for the pros and cons of new media and its effect on society - Its just how you think of it

Hmm...

  1. You make a good point on employers checking up on your social media sites. However, Facebook also ALLOWS you to find new jobs. It keeps you very in touch with your network of friends, who one day just might be able to come through with something you need! Some food for thought ...

  5. Loan Opportunity Offered By Mr, Pedro That Save My Family From Financial Bondage

    Hello Everyone, I am Putri Adiratnaa single mom from Jakarta, I would like to share this great testimony on how I got a loan from Mr, Pedro, when we were driven out of our home when I couldn't pay my bills anymore, After being scammed by various companies online and denied a loan from my bank and some other credit union I visited. My children were taken by foster care, I was all alone in the street. The day I shamefully walked into an old school mate who introduced me to Daisy Maureen. At first I told her that I am not ready to take any risk of requesting a loan online anymore, but she assured me that I will receive my loan from them. On second thought, due to my homelessness I had to take a trial and applied for the loan, luckily for me I received a loan of $80,000.00 from Mr, Pedro. I'm happy I took the risk and applied for the loan. My kids have been given back to me and now I own a home and a business of my own. All thanks and gratitude goes to the help of Mr, Pedro for giving me a meaning to life when I had lost all hope.
