Media Literacy is any type of knowledge and understanding of mass media. Everyone has an understanding of media to an extent whether that be working a television or using the new MacBook Pro. Media is becoming ever more present in today's society and making it that much harder for it's existence to be ignored. Media has unknowingly become the center of attention in many societies.
Today it seems that people are growing even more dependent on the media to do the simplest of tasks that we no longer seem capable of doing without some kind of assistance. Media is presence that never seems to leave any one's side. People have grown dependent on the technological advancements made over the years. We now cannot go hours without talking on a cell phone or days without an iPod, heaven forbid.
Everything seems to be brought back to the media. Media has become a major part of ever day life and we can only move forward with it. As a whole America's culture can no longer be the way it was before the creation of radio or television. We can only move forward and as the Country and technology advances the medias influence and overbearing presence will only increase.
It seems that media will only become a stronger influence on society because of its ability to reach numerous people at one time. The fact that we can always know whats going on in different regions of the world only satisfies our curiosity as human beings. As media improves and becomes a larger influence on the country our dependency will grow.
It seems that we will never fully escape the ever growing media, but we also cannot take steps backwards. We can only improve upon the decisions we have made in the past and hope that the influences that the media makes will only better our future.
