Have an opinion homework

The growth of interactive and digital media is slowly making traditional forms of media obsolete and I believe that it will soon completely take over from the traditional forms of media. Interactive and digital are media forms like social networks, catch up TV, Sky plus and Netflix.

This issue became like this because people are getting easier access to high speed Internet. This is main reason for the decline of traditional forms of media as people can just check the news through social media or through an app on their smart phone. Having the news readily available on their phone also means they do not have to go out and buy a newspaper everyday which saves people time and money.



In my opinion I think that the growth of interactive and digital media is a good thing as it makes news, tv shows and films more accessible and saves people time and money. However there are negative points to the growth of interactive and digital media. One negative point is that it is making people extremely lazy as they demand to have everything at the push of a button, in my opinion this is going to get worse over time as more and more forms of media become available on the internet and will play a big part in how unhealthy people are becoming.



In the future I see traditional media, such as Newspapers, Magazines, Cinema and TV, declining to the point where the minority of people will consume the interactive and digital type of media. This is because digital media is more easily accessible. For instance instead of going out to buy a DVD you can stream in via the Internet in your own home all without leaving your living room. I believe that it will continue to grow and grow for this reason; people are becoming lazier and want everything to be easily accessible from their front rooms.
