Throughout history there has been changes in media, whether those changes are, medium, how many people the media reaches, and the kind of things the media covers. The media itself has not only changed, but has changed life for humans as well. The changes in media have made life easier to accomplish tasks, get news, and communicate. With the invention of the computer and the internet, almost everything is possible online. On the internet, you can receive news, talk to people all over the world, order things, make reservations, do your banking, and the list goes on and on. The possibilities are endless and the technology becomes greater and more advanced everyday. Media has not been around forever, but once created made life easier and communication was extended much farther than ever before. The very first mediums of media were very simplistic and not very sufficient, but through time, studies and tests have been done to bring media to an unbelievable rate of efficiency and more technologically advanced than I think humans ever imagined. You can see the change in media through research over when it was first created or, just by looking directly at your family's generations and how they got the news and what their media was like. From your grandparents, to your parents to you, there are wide generation gaps that create large gaps for change in media technology. Media plays a large role in human life, not only is it essential for news, but it involves politics, religion, sports and communication also. The changes in how it has affected these different categories throughout these generations have also been looked at in this research paper.
Media has changed throughout these three generations from its medium to how much people used it, to how far the media sources extended and what was received through this media. In my grandparent's generation, their media was mostly radio and newspaper.
