Media in a Changing Global Culture

Media no longer just shape our culture…they ARE our culture.” Media changed how we communicate, market, and grow. We grow up attached to technology. The media has created so many careers to maintain it all around the world. Due to the fact that we are all connected or have a relationship with the media of some sort, we are the ones changing our own culture. Our generation is very innovative and quick to adopt new innovations.

While my brother and I grew up in the same household but he had and still has a different childhood from what I had. I grew up asking for toys, he grew up asking for consoles and games. I didn’t know our lives would be so different growing up a few years apart. While there are beneficial things to having new innovations in media, there are also disadvantages.

Culture is what we grow up on so sharing ideas on the internet and growing up on it can possibly change it. Depending on the parents one grows up with we are capable of becoming one culture. Kids are all growing up with the same technology and ways of thinking. Change is happening so often, we tend to lose track of what is coming next. Different forms of media are being discovered each day so we can only imagine what is to come in the next few years. We make it easier each day to produce new content and new ways to share them.
