THE MEDIA IS STILL A GOOD PLACE

           Recently social media has created a fast approach to communication.Writing of letters has become old fashioned so smart phones are the new gig for texting or sending mails.This days on social media information fly around like birds.All you need to do is set up an account then followers find you with ease.The media controls the modern world and innovation makes it captivating daily.Money allows you buy the best of tech and the more expensive the better the quality.Television has gotten sophisticated from slim to ultra with the ability to make it seem you are in a cinema.The radio continues to thrive for grassroot exploit since tv is still a big deal.
           Advertising cuts across all proffession and is a tool in all types of media.This changes expose humans to different acts and sure there are varying reactions.In the twinkle of an eye information can spread round the world which technology has made a global unit.We dont see the people behind the phones,tablets and computers but we sense what they look like through pictures videos and voicing.Anybody can say anything and it is believed.There is the tendency to like retweet or follow a hashtag once it trends,sentimental or makes sense.
           It is true some acts on the media breeds conflicting reactions but most times people tend to pay attention to celebrities.Social media makes people crazy so much that they cant go a day without having a taste of what is happening far and around them.But there is what i call adverse effect of media.We see a rise in fake news and hate speech disguised in ugly banters.Its a reaction we get from exposing ourselves to people we know and dont.
           During the last election in America Hillary Clinton was the focus of fake news and hate speech.The private server she set up and Clinton Foundation accusations exposed her to this.Fake accounts can be set up by anyone and celebrities are sometimes the target.Anyone can be bullied online but there is something comforting in the idea of hating someone popular.Fake information can affect how we see life and it falsifies global accuracy.If you read a fake story about someone you believe in twice,you tend to lose interest in them.
            But the media is still a good place to communicate with the audience.We just need to make it safer and comfortable.Upcoming artists,entrepeneurs and politicians etc can use the media to carry people along.Tech companies like Google and Facebook etc must shut down fake accounts and that of those spreading hate.Its shocking that a medium such as telegram exists even though it can breed terrorism.The media must regain its lost shine and be brought back to reign as a place to be trusted.The truth remains that a world without good media poses great risks.Most people get information from social media and if there is no credibility we are in danger.
             Also we must let our brains think before our fingers.There is more to just typing away.Thinking before accepting and sending information will save you embarrassment regret and sometimes death in a world where terrorism and abduction has become a norm.Also keeping your location undisclosed is advisable.Making progress through the media is one of the best inventions and would never get old we just need to be wise on how we act and react.
