"There are always concerns about new technology."
In your view, what are the possible benefits and problems attached to the Internet?
Introduction:
- Put my argument across; that new technology has always got up coming concerns
- Give example of the internet; The fact that social networking sites and user generated (Problems)
- Give the opposing view that there isn't always a concern as people can find out information that would usually be a difficulty to know about; the development on technology allows important news to be known much faster.
Paragraph one; The concerns of new technology:
- The internet is truly and multi-media experience as due to new technology internet users are able to find all forms of information such as text documents, photographs, movies, videogames, emails etc.
- Although some may argue that there are always problems and concerns about new technology, it has enabled people to complete many tasks which were not possible 10 years ago.
- These would be things such as being able to find over 10,000 results on Google within 1.4 seconds.
- Google has ownership over many other websites such as Gmail and Youtube.
- These are extremely popular websites and are used by many people for example,
- More than 1 billion unique users visit YouTube each month..
- Mobile makes up almost 40% of YouTube's global watch time..
- Therefore illustrating that the development of new mobile phones allows individuals to use internet on the go showing that new technology is positive as it enables internet to be more accessible.
It could be argued that the development of new technology disables the information shared through the internet to be reliable or trustworthy as majority of it is user generated. However, despite of the concerns of new technology it has enabled us to research more than 10,000 searches within the space of 1.4 seconds therefore demonstrating the internet as more of a positive development rather than negative.
There are many benefits attached to the internet as the internet has been an up coming technological development for many years and now has reached its peak as statistics show there are 2,435,297,833 (constantly changing) internet users around the world. The internet is truly an multi-media experience as due to new technology internet users are able to find all forms of information such as text documents, photographs, movies, videogames, emails etc. This is evident as there is now 113,281,983,659 email users, however due to the internet being a main source of information these statistics are changing every second. Furthermore, Google is a main institution which is used in order to research information. Google has ownership over many websites such as Google Chrome, Gmail and Youtube therefore it is not only used as a research engine but also business and entertainment based. Youtube is an extremely popular website and is used by individuals all over the world, as evidence has shown more than 1 billion internet users visit YouTube each month. Also mobiles make up almost 40% of Youtube's global watch time therefore demonstrating new technology positivly as it enables the internet to be more accessible as well as allowing individuals to use the internet on the go. Google is therefore a prime example of Pareto's law as it has been said that 80% of the media is owned by 20% of institutions.
Paragraph two; Internet is not a concern, Beyonce putting her album straight on internet:
- Beyonce put her album straight on I-tunes without not warning and is recording a music video for each song of hers
- http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-25362941
- Beyonce has unexpectedly released her fifth album on iTunes overnight, with 14 new songs and 17 music videos.
- "adding she was "bored" of releasing music the traditional way"
-
Additionally, new technology is not a concern in modern day media. The reason for this is that the development of new technology enables individuals to know information at a faster time then ever before. Beyonce's release of her 5th album is a prime example of this as not only did she go against the 'traditional' way of releasing an album according to the music industry but the first announcement of the album was made on instagram. This was significant as it illustrates the development of technology as well as the power of it as although she did not advertise her album she still recieved
WWW/EBI: There are some good points here and clearly you're planning your work which is excellent. However, there's a lot missing. Obviously, it's unfinished but even the main paragraph you have written contains no real organisation or main point. It jumps around constantly without explanation or analysis. Major focus on the organisation of your written work required.
