Essay / The Evolution of Media - 1314
Media has become a staple and comfortable commodity for global life which it touches in involuntary and meaningful ways. But what is this incontestable influence? These include radio, newspapers, television shows like CNN and MTV; Entertaining and informative, the media are a valuable asset for everyone. This happened during the pivotal 20th century, where the skies were filled with air raids and on earth there were people full of fear, telling stories of eternal wars. The innate fear of Nazi world domination and the annihilation of all humanity by atomic weapons were the main driving forces behind the creation of media; people wanted answers to their questions and needed to be informed about the global chaos. However, as time ran out and peace took hold, the media was then used as a source of entertainment, coinciding with greater access to leisure activities.

At that time, it was usual for newspapers to fall victim to paper corruption, esteem and social corruption. The advantages and disadvantages weigh equally. For example, the media allowed imperative information to be distributed to concerned citizens throughout World War I and World War II, when the world was in dire need of being informed about current events. However, once these horribly destructive wars ended, there was a need to escape the consequences and forget the atrocities of war, and this is when entertainment media evolved. Because of all the post-war cleanup efforts, people turned to the media for entertainment and light pleasure. Unfortunately, it was too much attention given to television that led to the current social recession and made it what it is today.
