Effects of Mass Media Paper HUM 186 Dr. Watkins March 03, 2012 Effects of Mass Media Paper Media is in one way or another how opinions, news, and information get from one source to another in a forum that broadcasts in front of an audience. Finding what places to broadcast mass media is important in many ways because to appeal to your audience one needs to find the best portal to broadcast. In this paper mass media and its evolution will be discussed along with how its influence on America. * What were the major developments in the evolution of mass media during the last century' * Throughout the last century mass media has come a long way. When one considers that the use of phones was discovered in the 1880’s and 30 years later the first wireless form of media was discovered. America has come a long way from those times. Internet is evolving now days so fast that even computers can’t keep up. Video games are also turning into a form of mass media and with the evolution of the new game systems eventually will turn into a form of a direct TV and will weed out the other companies. The newspaper and the daily news has even taken a backseat immediate news because of all the quicker forms of media avenues, and the cell is turning into to fastest way to access it. With all the companies making their blogs, and internet sites cell phone adaptable. How did each development influence American culture' Film is one of the foundations to not only broadcasting comedians, and reacting historical wars and political point of views. This form of media is also beneficial to children in the form of education. Video games and the consoles they are created to run on provide so many avenues to news and different types of games that computers are eventually going to become a past time to kids. The games created are becoming so advanced that even those on a lower scale are molding the children today to adapt and overcome situations which will prepare them for trying times when the time comes for reality. Mobile devices are the future of the immediate access with the instant updates on twitter and face book. Everything is going mobile and with its 3.3 billion users why not use that small computer to enhance the speed of mass media. In closing I would like to point out that although the news, newspapers and magazines are taking a back door to some of the mass media story lines. The avenues are in many ways more secure and legit because of the rules placed behind them before the information makes it to the public. The second reason the avenues will remain is because of the foundation already built. Mass media is forever evolving and the only way to adapt to the change in the culture is to educate one’s self in today’s technologies.
