People can now watch television on their phones, in their cars, or watch movies with a portable DVD player. By: Rachel Holscher

  9. How has Mass Communication Technologies affected today’s society? With the invention of computers and the telephone, so much time is saved in communicating ideas to other people.  There is no longer a wait time for letters to arrive, or a having to wait months to speak with family and friends. Today’s technologies allow society to be instantly connected to one another. News spreads around the world in seconds instead of weeks or months. By: Rachel Holscher

  10. Positive Affects There are many positive aspects to the creation of these technologies, such as vast amounts of resources, the ability to and creating bonds between people and never losing contact with others. The internet provides an enormous collection of resources ranging from news articles, encyclopedias, dictionaries, etc. to games, personal logs, and entertainment sites.  Anything anyone is searching for at any given moment is more than likely to show up on the internet.  This gives people the convenience of having resourceful information at their fingertips.  All they have to do is type keywords into a search engine and millions of websites are listed and give the option to pick and choose which sites fit the topic a person is looking for.  This is incredibly useful for projects, reports, essays, etc. especially for students who cannot get to a library.  Even libraries publish information online to satisfy the demands for information. By: Rachel Holscher

  11. Negative Affects These technologies have made contacting people much easier; however, who really wants to be contacted every second of every day and never get a minute of solitude?  With inventions like the cell phone and the internet, Americans feel obligated to be on call and available at every moment.  On average people check their e-mail four times a day, whether to stay in contact for their occupation, or with family members; or there is the cell phone which they would feel guilty turning off for fear of panicking a person trying to reach them.  These new technologies have put a strain on people, most without even knowing it.  Not only do technologies make people feel compelled to be accessible, they generate so much more stress and demand as well.  By: Rachel Holscher
