Have the new media change our life for the better?

New media has allowed the opinions and views of the society to be more heard of. New media such as blogs has become a communicative tool that society can use to spread information or personal thoughts on an issue. In the past, such personal viewpoints are either hidden away or taken out to the speaker's corner to be revealed, which is rarely used. Therefore with the help of new media, these thoughts are no longer hidden and the society views can be taken into account for by the higher institutes. The higher institutes can thus make the appropriate decision to suit the needs of society. For example, there are several cases of facebook groups that are created as an online petition to change certain stuffs that affect society. New media is being use here to help people with similiar viewpoints gather together and make a difference to the society. As the higher institutes realises that the decisions they have made were wrong, they can take appropriate actions to alliviate the situation. New media serves as a platform for the society to voice their viewpoints on certain issues and be heard of. They no longer need to hide their thoughts.
