MEDIA & THE INNOCENSE OF YOUTH
As generally defined, media are more than just channels for disseminating informatiins. Different kind of informations are to be found in one medium. Media provides us with informations and knowledge that we still haven't experienced or heard about. It is really important for an individual to know how information, ideas, and knowledge are communicated.
Being a media and information literate, you must learn how to gather information and what informations are worth gathering. Since media has already become part of our generation, it is really important for us to learn how to be wise and picky in what kind of informations we should access. At present, even the youngest member of the family is already able to manipulate gadgets. Some of these little ones even have social media accounts. Children nowadays are exposed to an open world of cast informations. Knowing the fact that media can either be educational or harmful for them. Best example for its benefit is that these children can collect information which can help them develop their skills, which most of them say, that they have learned it from watching different kind of videos. On the other way around, children’s minds are purely innocent. Sometimes they don't know what are they up to while accessing the media.
Different kind of gasgets and different kind of informations can either be beneficial or can put you in to harm. It is really important to possess this media and information literacy for you to be guided and for you to become aware of the pros and cons of the things the next time you open or access certain informations. Being an illiterate about media and information is like an innocent child playing with fire.
