Speech on media and its role among teenagers

Answer 1

Media and Its Impact on Teenagers
 
Media has had quite a deep impact on teenagers. This impact has both good and bad side. Social media and networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter have become source of major distractions for students. Young boys and girls seem to have become inordinately addicted to these sites. They are thoughtlessly and uselessly wasting their precious time on these sites. Wise people say time well utilized is time well spent, but the youth of today is
only and only wasting time on chatting, messaging, uploading photographs and modifying profiles. The smart phones and 4G connections have made the situation worse. Accessing such sites has become so easy that young boys and girls are using these sites almost everywhere and almost all the time. Similarly they wait for their favourite TV programs with such intense longing!
 
Students these days appear to be more worried about
connecting to their friends on Facebook than being concerned about doing their studies, assignments and projects! The other major disadvantage of the
increasing use of such networking sites is the spread of obscenity. This is having a very negative impact on the impressionable minds of our young children
and leading them astray. 
 
On the other hand, social networking and the facilities of media exchange formats facilitated by advancement in internet has made the life and work of so easy for everyone. Everything is available on social networking sites and platforms. There is not a single sphere or walk of life where social networking and media are not being used! Education, industry, finance, defense, teaching,
learning, research, medicine, accounting, entertainment, internet, online teaching, telecommunication, media, and space research and exploration. It is internet and computer everywhere.
 
In conclusion, it can be said that media is neither good nor bad, we have to teach
our teenagers how to use it judiciously for the betterment of the self.
