     Mass Media has changed the way, families interact as well it has changed how we interact with colleagues and friends. The majority of communication is through some sort of device. In some ways it is convenient. However, certain studies have shown that mobile communication affects people in a negative way when it comes to being sociable and making face-to-face contact. There is less personal time, as well as distraction. But the expectations of the modern day are interwoven, and neither can be separated from contemporary society it seems as though one can't exist without the other. 🤔  

  The new norm is CHANGE. Technology affects the way individuals communicate, learn, and think. It helps society and determines how humans interact with each other on a day-to-day basis. Technology plays an important role in society today. We are living in a time when technological improvements are common. One aspect of technology that has had a great impact on society is how it affects learning. Learning is more interactive which helps people engage with the material that they are learning. Also, technology has impacted society through communication, and how we talk and communicate with one another worldwide. Mass media has changed the way we do everything. For example, emails, social networking, video conferencing, and more.      

            Smartphones, what can we do without them?     Half the things we do on day-to-day bases are with devices. Keeping up with friends, the latest trends, and even world news. The use of smartphones and social media is common across most emerging economies. Talk to anyone who worked in journalism before the internet, smartphones, or even Twitter and you might hear of the doom and gloom of news and journalism    (Kolodzy, 2013) .     Whether we want it or not wherever we go on our smartphones we can get any sort of information there is to find, true or false you can google anything on your smartphone.     Our devices are the new future in our hands.

                Technology as we knew it has changed dramatically since 2003 when Myspace hit the internet streets, it was the first social network to reach a global audience and had a significant influence on technology.  Myspace was one of the first now Facebook is up and trendy, it's hard to think of life without Facebook. Facebook allows people to share whatever it is that they want.  By 2010, some two decades after internet use became commonplace, that same generation knew of nothing but a world of interactivity and sharing of information, pictures, videos, and comments. The fact that Facebook surpassed Google in one measure as the most popular site on the internet in 2010 illustrates this shift in expectations   (Kolodzy, 2013) .  Facebook is giving individuals in societies across the world more power relative to social institutions, and that may well lead to very disruptive changes  (Zeng, n.d.) .  Myspace, I believe paved the way for our social network today.   Works Cited

  The fast evolution and embracing of new technology have changed the face of communication through traditional media. According to the Newspaper Association of America, the word of the day is innovation. Print and broadcast media communication professionals have had to compete with amateur publishers for readers’ limited attention spans. Media organizations that fail to keep things up to date on the new communication technology may find themselves being enveloped by other sprightly communication establishments. Joe Cote stated New Media is any media. It doesn't necessarily refer to a specific mode of communication. It becomes even more complicated to define when you consider that definition continually changes as technology continues to progress (Cote, 2022). Change is what makes New Media Valuable.
