INTERNET & TV.....vs.....BOOKS & NEWSPAPERS

(1/5) > >>

Internet and TV are both becoming or already became a part of our daily lives, a major part that is. On the other hand, reading books and the newspapers is somehow starting to diminish in the world of teenagers as ourselves. This issue had been a bone of contention for many years, scientists and parents on a side, and children and teenagers are on the other.

Internet is a great source of information and knowledge if it is used properly and wisely, however, it has its own threats that are dangerous to us and to our minds. Same thing applies for TV, they show us every single thing that occurs anywhere at anytime around the world, yet, similar threats r still there.

Books have the same job as the internet and TV, but the way of presentation is the issue that keeps the teenagers (not all of them surely) away from reading. "BORING!" a word that is heard from many children or teenagers that read any book, apart from the books that contain pictures (for youngsters) or even those black and white pictures for teens.

This whole issue is swelling up nowadays, and it is found to be a major problem in our societies.

which side do you choose, and why is that?....Is this a real problem, a new phenomena in the teens world?!....Or is it something normal that happens just like the new stuff that had been introduced to humanity over the years?

It is something called globalization .. which you use the internet and any kind of modern technology to communicate with the outside world .. ( this is only part of globalization )

I choose my local media and arab media but I do not rely 100% on them or in any other media ... I do not fully believe the west media ..  :D
