A world without internet

In the generation we are living right now, our world wouldn't function well without internet access. Internet access is a mayor influence in our daily lives. We have found friends from our preschool, 1/6 marriages have met online, people can gain knowledge every second just for looking information up in Google, your send an email and in one second it arrives so if you have an emergency you can send by email it will arrive in the same instant, some jobs function throughout internet access for example my uncle lives here and works in Miami throughout Skype. Internet is something we relay on so a lot of works, businesses, and families wouldn't work without it. Internet has so much information, everyone in the world can access is it, a lot of the information is bad and can corrupt many brains because there is a lot of pornography, fake information, fake pictures, etc. but at the same time there is a lot of valid and useful information. In my opinion internet is something we need and use a lot, is for us to have contact with people around the world, celebrities, authors, friends, family, etc. Internet facilitates our lives, now we can pay for things via internet, we can buy things in any part of the world using internet, we can help organization, we can donate, we can do all of this things in our beds very comfortable. We can also reduce drastically the amount of paper we use because now we can do things in word documents, Google docs, blogs, etc. New papers, magazines, etc. are now available in internet because we want to be a green world reducing the amount of paper we waste every day.

The Power and Influence of Mass Communication

cMass communication is a very powerful and influential tool, in this case we are using a website. Websites are powerful tools because everyone can see them and learn from them. When you post something on a website you are communicating it to the world, so you have to be careful with what you put, it may influence people in positive ways or negative ways. Mass communication is used to advertise things or to inform things to people, and people like wearing things that other people wear, listening to the same music, having the same things, etc. So when a new movie comes out or new clothes per season, or a new iPAD and you see that everyone wants it you will also want it, that is why mass communication is so powerful and influential. In my case, the website I am doing is for the girls that don't know what to wear in some situations so this website is going to influence them because they may like the ideas I will give so they are going to wear it and if they like it they are going to tell their friends about it and so on. Mass communication is very powerful because now everyone uses computers and social networking so information flies faster than what we think, so that is why we have to be very careful with the things we say or we post because they may be very influential.
