As people surrounded in a society by technology; such as the internet, it has become one of the different types of communication in media and one of the most revolutionary in the history. We use blogs and social networks in order to express opinions or ideas and also to interact with other people. Rettberg assures us this by saying that “People like participating in the media. We like contributing and sharing our ideas, and we are unlikely to stop now that we have the technology to allow it” (155). The different types of media have impacted our society in various ways; we use it for advertising, sharing and obtaining information, and just a way of expressing ourselves through blogs and social networks. As I said that living in a technological society we would like to get out of it as much as possible, knowing that media has a huge potential over our society.
I really liked the passage you chose for this blog entry. You explained it very well and gave me a better understanding. I may want to use this section in my research paper because I think it would really work with my paragraph about community. Thanks (:
