Effect of New Media on Society

New Media has had many effects on society ever since it was established. I think the main effect that it had on society was the amount of ease it offered people to accomplish goals both big and small and it also brought people closer together by way of social networking sites like facebook and myspace as well as blogging sites like blogger. With the establishment of the internet, people don’t have to leave their homes to shop for pretty much anything and everything. From clothes to cars to everyday groceries, anything can be done through the internet and there is no longer a need to go to actual stores to buy things they need. New media has greatly affected society for the better though many have argued that it makes people very lazy. That is possibly the only negative effect that the emergence of new media has had on society.
