There are many other forms of mass
media like television, radio, books etc. Nowadays, we can get most of the
information simply by sitting at home using the internet. Internet is the most
popular form of mass media. People especially teenagers spend more than 4 to 5
hours a day on using internet. They can buy what they want online; they can do
homework or assignments online (like what we are doing right here). Media is
play an important and at the same time affecting role in today’s world. Media can
give you real information but also some false ideas. Anyone and everyone can
create a website and that is public. In another saying, whatever information from
the web may not be supported. Since people are now spending hours on internet,
this kind of media can definitely change one’s point of view. For example, I see
someone’s Facebook always showing tasty food. The next thing to do is to search
where the places are and click for more good food. In this simple case, media
expands my view.
I agree with how you say that media can change one's point of view. The example you used about the food happens to me all the time. I would go on Instagram and see someone post a picture of their food, and sometimes they would tag in the place that they're eating at. So, the next time I have the chance to, I would go to that restaurant. I think it's a good way of expanding your viewpoint on this, and lets you become more adventurous. If people didn't share the places that they were eating at, I think businesses would most likely have less business, and people would be eating at the normal restaurants that they always eat at.
