The Value of Being a Media and Information Literate

Being a media and information literate is highly required especially in this advanced world where our society is evolving with technology. So, everyone must be skilful in media and be literate in accepting information. Nowadays, information and content from any various forms of media may be more or less true so we must be open-minded and think critically in receiving information. Do not just be contented for what you only knew, instead research more, think deeply and go beyond your limit. Sometimes we also have to know and be aware of the things revolving around us especially in using different forms of media because what will be the sense of media and information we received if we have no idea about it.

MEDIA: Its Impact on Society

Media has brought a positive impact to us in terms of communication because it made us easier to contact and reach out to other people that are far or away from us. It has been continuously advanced and upgraded with technology and has been part of our daily communication. But, let us also consider its negative side and impact to us. Media has limited us to socialize personally with others as we have been already more engaged with different forms of media. It also has been more typing than interacting with each other in person. Online social media like Facebook, Twitter etc. has been also trendy and has influenced the teenagers where they can share some information about themselves on their accounts and share positive and negative activities along with others. So before posting and giving information, we must analyse our actions and think what will be its consequences while using different forms of media and most importantly, think before you click. Thus, it is really important for us to be aware of the impact the media brings before we end up being carried along and caught up by it rather than controlling it.
