Because communication technology was very basic, the news we received was days or weeks old. The mass media, especially television and internet, are now the most important source of information. Every day they provide people with pieces of useful and valuable information. But in recent years informative and education programs have given way to immoral and sensational shows. Therefore, the influence of mass media on our kids, teenagers and society becomes widespread.
