New Media & Society

New media is affecting society in many ways. One of the biggest impacts ive seen is the time new media takes on society. We see social networking sites taking up a college students time when he or she can be studying or doing more productive things with their time. I believe this is one of the biggest negative effects that new media is taken on the current generation. This and the way information gets spread through the internet. There was a case where a girl had sent her boyfriend a naked picture of herself through the internet and when they broke up, he sent that picture to everyone he knew on the internet. The girl who was ashamed couldn't take it and hung herself in her closet. I believe these are the biggest impacts new media has had on society.
