Modern Slaves Passively

We Are The Slaves

http://passion4creatvt.blogspot.com/

      Most of us are now highly engaged in social media without thinking of what the effects are in our lives, whether it's positive or negative.
  
     The average number of people now spends more time each day on their gadgets rather than they do sleeping. We interact with media daily, through using computers, mobile devices, reading newspapers, watching TV, listening to the radio, playing digital games or even watching movies.

     As one of the youth of today's modern generation, I can say that media has a huge impact in our lives, and it depends upon how we interact with it. Media is very helpful particularly to the students who need information from different websites and for updating news. Thus, media affects the youth by shaping their behavior. and that's the main reason why youth nowadays are proned to doing such unexpected things.
    
     In every content of an advertisement, shows on television, music videos, and magazines, increases the youth 'sexualization' and they learn to create bad images in their minds. It affects their studies that makes them stressful due to using media. It can affect their healthy lifestyle, and sometimes can lower their grades. It makes them spoiled brats to their parents because all they want is an "in" technology to socialize with media.

     Yes, media helps us to dwell with this innovative world, but it also treats us as media slaves.
