 Media have aided in shaping the world’s social,
cultural, political, and economic landscape to what it
is today.
 The rise of technological advances created a faster
and much free-flowing movement of information and
communication, such as allowing easier connection to
people around the globe, opening more opportunities
for sharing ideas, and creating more outlets for us to
share our thoughts and opinions.
 The more we immerse ourselves in mediated
communication, the more we lose touch of meaning,
value, and authenticity of human interaction.
 It is important to inculcate the proper use of media
and information so as to maximize its benefits and not
be overpowered by its downsides.
