In the Boss text chapter 11, it talked a lot about the mass
media. But what really stood out to me
was the section that talked about the impact of the Internet on daily
lives. This part of the chapter really
opened up my eyes to be able to see how influential the Internet is on our
lives. It said that college freshman are
now spending more time surfing the web than studying. Since now people can shop, do their banking,
purchase concert or movie tickets, carry out research, play games, gamble,
download music, and even earn a college degree without leaving the comfort of
their homes. Having all of these options
and opportunities that the Internet provides can be a good and bad thing. It
helps to make numerous thing easy but because of the pervasive and growing
influence of the Internet on our lives and decisions, it is critical that we
learn to think critically about what we see, hear and post on the Internet.
