Tecnology Case
If a child is addicted to a certain kind of music or to a certain musical group , that means there is a gap in this life in which he is trying to fill .Many teenagers turn up their
Hi-Fis to blast to certain thoughts out of their heads . It is a way of getting away from troubling feeling , or of filling a void . It is similar to an addiction to drugs . People become addicted not because drugs are around but the emptiness in them. If everything in a young person’s life is in order , them the media will have very little influence .
The media are never very subtle , and this is one of my objection . If they were more subtle , they would force the people watching or listening to use their own intelligence . But the mass media do not encourage intelligent thinking because there is far too little they offer that needs be processed intelligently . They address them selves to the masses and want to give something that every body will respond to .
A particular problem I have with television is that it is destroying the intelligent development of young people television characters go through life unchanged by their experiences .Major things happen to them , and in the next part , they are exactly the same person they were before .This tells people that they do not have to develop their personalities .By contrast , in Shakespeare , Toestoy or Jane Austen’s novels , characters change and develop , just as young people need to do .
Television also makes things looks too easy .As a consequence , young people feel that if a task is hard for them , there is some thing wrong with them as it seems easy for every body else .
