Electronic Media

It was not so long ago that our lives became dependant from technology, to prove you that, imagine that electricity goes off from your house for one week, what do you think it will happen? The food would be spoilled, you would not be able to mantain yourself clean, you would not eat, in simplier words your life depends on technology.

All the tools, machines, ovens, computers, lamps, cars, etc... they all make together the concept of technology. Technology is all what we use to make our life easier and better. It can be anything, from a rock used as a hammer, to a F-22 Raptor fighter. Technology has existed since the first days of men and still makes an important role in our lives.

Technology is used to improve people's life by helping them in their job, chores, daily events, etc. One example are the cars, that thanks to them we can travel long distances in short time, or even cutlery that allows us to cut meat and eat soup. Also technology gives us the chance to communicate, with internet, T.V., phone, radio, etc.

The advantages that we can obtain from technology are the possibilities to instantly communicate with people all around the world, make our works easier, and provide us all type of information and material. Electronic media also allows us to have fun and spend some time doing our hobbies.

But the acces to all kind of information and material can be wrong interpreted. People get involved in illegal acts, such as identity theft, kidnapping, child porn, murder publication, etc. Many crimes can be commited only with the use of the internet, also with a phone, as people blackmail others.

But something that electronic media has taken an important part has been in global communication. Most of the buisness are international, wich require the means to get the terms done, from far distances, also media let us know what is happening all around the world.

Since facebook was created, it ha sbeen an imortant factor for life as we know it. We use it to see what is happening in the world, what our friends are doing, manage events, have conversations, etc. But the most imoprtant thing about Facebookis that keeps everyone in connection,therefore in constant communication. But Facebook has also changed some aspects in people, such as their personality, whether turning them more jealous ro more aparted from society.
