First of all I`d like to say that there are various forms of
mass media: television, radio, newspapers and the internet. It is no doubt that
mass media plays a very important role in the world. It is the best way to
receive information. Thanks to the Internet people can study foreign languages
and travel round the world without wasting money. Both the young and the adults
find new friends and have a chat with them. For disabled children the different
forms of mass media are the best opportunity for study at home.
However, there is the reverse side of
the medal. The majority of young people spend a lot of time in front of the TV
or computer. They have no time for sport activities in the fresh air. Children
prefer to watch a film than to read a book, so many of them damage their eyes
and have problem with overweight. The internet limit a face-to-face contact. People
are paying less attention to the persons around them and become more nervous.
People become attached to the TV and Internet.
I think that mass media is a key
achievement of people, but we should not forget the joy of real-world
communication.
