In the past several years, social networking sites like Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter have become increasingly popular websites. Featuring updates on things such as friends and celebrities, local and worldwide news, and new ways of advertising, these sites have created a whole new way to communicate information. We can now send information more quickly, efficiently, and less costly. With this newer technology, people can communicate with people that they normally would not be able to. It has made the world seem like a much smaller place than it seemed years ago.
Additionally, this quick way of sharing information has caused the media to become less personal and more dangerous. The amount of information sent is limitless, as is the restrictions of what you can send online. These social networking sites have made it easier to get information, but harder to get truly reliable material.
Technology is never going to stop advancing in the media. It will possibly put most of the journalism career paths online or via cellular phones. It will push past prerecorded stories, and enter into all live action causing journalists to push themselves to tell stories in more entertaining ways.
