Why Even Bother?

Communication doesn’t exactly sound too complicated… Yet people don’t realize how deeply complex it truly is. In relation to media, they both premeate our society. Such as we learned in the text “Analyzing Texts: Media And Theory” the main types are interpersonal (1 on 1), mass (1 to many), organizational (maintain and organize behavior), and Intercultural (exchange between different cultures). The real question is…. Why Even bother creating new forms of communication, when we already have so many? They signal cultural values but is their really any reason to continue creating new ways to exchange information? In this case after gathering my thoughts I reached to a conclusion.

It’s to make us constantly entertained! I figured out the reason I’d even bother creating new ways to communicate. Think of the media, having a way to exchange information through articles, internet, videos, and even voice recordings. Not only did it make it easier to put your thoughts across, it created various other ways to keep us entertained. Such as a site like Facebook that can maintain gossips, and practically runs on people interacting different with ideologies. The media plays an important role for communication, it offers powerful tools that can make use of many methods in order to exchange information. This can also be seen on our Facebook accounts, which we use on everyday life.
