How has mass media technology changed the way audiences are entertained?


Mass media technology has changed the way audiences are entertained because they bring a variety of different mediums that give people the option to view content in whichever way they desire.  People are constantly entertained because the media has now become portable; this means that people have access to news all the time.  Society has become dependent on the mass media as a source of information; sometimes when something important happens, people receive text messages or phone calls to inform them.  Technology in the media has made entertainment more present in people’s lives.

The internet has helped entertain audiences in both positive and negative ways.  The internet provides access to all information, both important and unimportant.  People are able to post their feelings, beliefs, opinions, and stories for the world to see.  Sometimes, we browse through entertaining websites, such as game sites, blogs, and video sites.  Although the internet has become a great form of entertainment, it has also taken away from other offline entertainment.  Nowadays, children want to sit inside and watch the television and browse the internet instead of playing outside.  Media technology has become everyone’s main source of entertainment; media technology is addicting and society is becoming more dependent on it every day.  Mass media technology has changed the way audiences are entertained through its easy access to just about any content one may desire.
