Description
Throughout time, humans have relied on mass media in order to spread news, challenge their preconceived notions, and learn from the world around them. Innovators are driven to create these mediums in order for more ideas to be spread and for us to learn and grow as a society. However, there has been change in recent history as media creation started to become more about making money and less about sharing of good ideas. This has caused great harm. In my flash talk, I want to talk about this change, the negative effects of modern mass media, and how we can continue to use media to positively impact the world.
