          It's the 21st century. Our technology has come a long way since the first tool mankind has made. Our mediums are no exception. These days, you can simply go ahead and use the various social networks on the internet that allows you to instantly send texts, images, videos and other forms of data to the public or to particular people. Other than social networks, you can browse news websites for information whether it be local news or news from another country. And there is even the quick and efficient search engines of the internet that allows you to virtually find for specific information on the internet.

          It's clear that the internet has integrated itself in the lives of many people across the world, and it has simply been widely accepted to now be an important part of many people's lives. The internet has been a strong tool in expressing many things such as democracy. It has become a symbol for freedom of expression and freedom of information and by extension, a symbol of democracy. It's more prominent roles in a democratic society is mainly as a media for expression and information. Freedom of expression and information is what it mainly upholds for the majority of the society. It is a virtual place of equality, where the masses actually have the potential to have influence over the society. Where a commoner is capable of being as influential as a government official or even more.

          The media has generally been an integral part of society, and I cannot deny that it has affected my life. I am no stranger when it comes to using it, and I use it quite often in my daily life. It provides me with a vast array of information which I use for my academic and personal learning. I, of course, also use it for my social affairs as it is readily available. And if I decide on making a career in the future, I can see its potential in helping me in getting traction whether it be starting a company or becoming some artist. It has more uses than I can enumerate and it seems that I have just scratched the surface of its potential. It is truly a powerful tool, and for better or for worse, it has impacted countless  human lives, including mine.
