Many may argue that today's media is having a negative effect on the youth because their time is consumed from online sources yet when it comes to academic related topics, time is reduced tremendously. When a student is working on an assignment, any information they may need is available at the click of a button. They are able to view as many sources as they are capable of finding in just a few clicks, this opposed to having to go out to libraries or book stores.
For example, if a student had a project they were asked to complete that required extra sources, immediately their first intention would be to look it up online. Now, lets say this was not an option. First they would have to drive to the closes library, then look up the particular book they needed. After they completed this they would have to search for the book and hope that it is not already signed out. From here the student would have to check out the book (only being aloud to have it for a certain amount of time), then drive home to finally begin their project. This shows how magnificent the media is for the youth and how simple it is for them to have as much information they need all right at there finger tips only taking seconds to find. Also, they can use this information whenever they chose to, instead of only having a certain period of time before they have to worrying about bringing it back. Although the media has many uses, it still continuos to help students for educational purposes that allows to make their life easier and less stressful.
