New Media & Society

Hey Irie Bloggers,
Today we will be talking about what has been some of the effects of new media on society. Well there are different ways in which new media affects the society as it affects the social, political, and economical aspects of society. But, being more personal, new media affects us as humans and people in both positive and negative ways. For example new media affects how we engage as it affects the human attention span, specifically when individuals engage in multitasking.
Rampant use of electronic media has a negative impact on memory and reasoning.
Face to face interaction is becoming less and causing attention deficits.
Difficult to understand or interpret what a person's intentions of messages are.
Promotes Bullies because they are unable to read the victim's  non verbal cues and the behavior will continues since they are unaware of the consequences.
New media also affects how we socialize as now we are more into technologies and communicating via that forum than regular person to person talking. It is also good for communicating with people we have not seen or heard from in a long time through a social media site however, it we were to see the person face to face we probably would have less of a conversation with them, Isn't this odd? you have been reading my blog posts and getting to know different things each time but you have no idea who I am face to face. My characteristics or traits, you are just left to accept what I portray. Well this is the effect new media has on us.
I hope this was eye opening to you as it was to me, until next time, Walk Good!
