Mass Media, Freedom and censorship

New Media has provided us with much convinience especially in this fast-paced and globalised world. It allowed us to complete tasks more efficiently and at our fingertips. One example would be the use of blogshops or online sites through the internet allowed us to do our necessary shopping without leaving the house. This provided much convenience for the user especially when he or she is in a rush or faced some difficulties leaving the house to do the necessary restocking of basic necessities. Without new media, one has to visit the city to and face the trouble of looking for the goods in shops, this is extremely time consuming especially when the user is having a race against the time. The new media therefore comes into place to make the whole process of shopping a much easier task to complete and can be said to have improved our lives.



With the invention of the new media, people are able to connect with one another easily. This is highly beneficial as people nowadays are able to travel around the globe with much more ease and sometimes it is inevitable for one to stay in another part of the globe for a long period of time New media allows people from all over the globe to communicate with one another in a more efficient manner. One example, is the use of networking sites such as facebook and twitter. Facebook allowed us to update ourselves on our family and friends' activities and events even though they may be at the other end of the globe as well as to send out and receive messages within minutes. It is also cost-saving as it allowed users to have online chats with one another without having to afford the cost of long distance calls.
However, some may disagree with me that such inventions results in many losing personal touch of their loved ones and the rise of such networking sites resulted in a lot of uninvited harrassment and most of the time it is preyed on the youths. But, this all depends on how one uses the such sites. Most of the inventions in our lives has two sides, the pros and the cons. This all boils down on the decision made the user whether to abuse such beneficial invention or to make full use of it.
