▶ Your Answer :
Some people think that the
television has an greater impact on human society than the internet, while
others do not, Both have their own reasons to support their views. If I have to
choose one, I would say that the internet has affected more powerful than
television to human society, because the internet is faster to spread cultures
or global news and can make more jobs than television.
To begin with, the internet
has more spin-off effect than television. Through the internet, people can find
the information actively wherever and whenever they want. However, we can
passively watch the information by TV only when TV broadcasts it. Therefore,
the internet dominates in terms of the power to spread information and culture.
For example, in the past, if you want to watch music video of Michael Jackson
or Beatles, you had to wait until it was on the air. Besides, TV broadcasted
only global popular music video, thus there was no chance to watch unpopular
music video. However, the music video of BTS or PSY, as soon as they release,
millions of people can watch them. What’s more surprising is that they were
just korean local singers even few years ago. It indicates the power of the
internet.
In addition, the internet
makes more jobs than TV does. The internet has more participants, and they can
have more job opportunities. To be specific, appearance of Youtube has resulted
in development of personalized broadcasting system. Through the individual
broadcasting, anyone can broadcast whatever they want. However in the TV
program, only selected person such as announcer, celebrities can join them. By
doing the individual broadcasting, they have to hire managers, editors, experts
of broadcasting equipments. It creates more job opportunities.
In a nutshell, the internet is more
effective way to spread cultures and news than television. Furthermore, the
internet can make more job positions. In this regard, the internet has affected
human society more than television. |
