The Dual Nature of Electronic Media: Enhancements and Challenges

Christopher Tingey explores the positive and negative impacts of electronic media in our lives. On the positive side, it fosters discussions, expands our knowledge, keeps us connected with distant loved ones, and helps organize information. However, it also presents challenges like time wastage, addiction, and reduced personal interactions. He highlights beneficial sources, including TED, YouTube, and Wikipedia, while also pointing out harmful influences like excessive gaming and online shopping. To improve our media usage, we must limit screen time, engage in real-world activities, and maintain healthy relationships.

  1. Electronic MediaBy: Christopher Tingey A tool or a crutch?

  2. Good things about electronic media • Promotes discussion • Can expand our knowledge in various subjects • Helps us organize vast amounts of information • Stay connected with people who are far away • Eases our day to day tasks

  3. Media Sources That Benefit • TED (a video based idea sharing forum) • YouTube (find detailed information on any subject) • Wikipedia (promotes the free sharing of information internationally) • Online banking (monitor your financial status and promote better budgeting and money management)

  4. Look up These!

  5. Bad things about Electronic Media • Wastes time • Addictive • Promotes poor health • Decreases personal interactions • Lessens real life understanding • Promotes micro sub cultures

  6. Sources that harm • Video Games (violence, lack of moral, and desensitized personas) • YouTube (Cat videos, Harlem shake, and auto tune the news, need I say more.) • Online shopping (anything you want to buy at the click of a button, even if you don’t need it)

  7. Case in Point

  8. How to better the situation • Limit our time on media • Explore hobbies and experiences in the real world • Listen and watch informational sources • Go and talk to the people in your life rather than always Facebook messaging them. • Go for a hike, run, or bike ride rather than doing it virtually.
