How has technology affected the way that we receive news?

     Technology has had a positive impact in our society.  Nowadays, we receive information faster than before and we can be informed about social, political, economic, cultural and other events at the same time as they happens which allows us to have a better perspective of how the things are developed.  

     As the technology arises and grows we can be informed of any event that takes place anywhere in the world as the event occurs and also, in some cases, if it is not possible to prevent tragedies (as natural disasters) react quickly in order to avoid catastrophic results as we receive many information in advance or on time.

     Although, some media misuse technology recurring to sensationalism when transmitting information, which may cause a negative impact into the society, because some of them invest a lot of money to do that and people in general are victims of this game generating misinformation and sometimes panic between people when news and information are not handled correctly.


     My classmate Asma agrees that technology has contributed to receive information faster than before.  However, she says that people make fake news recurring to sites as hotmail, yahoo, and others and publish wrong information that can affect people's opinion.
