Impact of the media on children and young people

Journal Title: Problemy Współczesnej Pedagogiki - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1

Abstract

Apart from the traditional media such as the press and radio, new and more attractive to young generation ones appeared. These are computer and the Internet, which, without a doubt, dominated other mass media. They are so interesting to viewers that many of them start to live in a virtual world and lose touch with reality. The aim of this article is to check how the media affect young people. The positive as well as negative aspects were demonstrated. It was checked how often children and young people used internet communicators and whether it was a good method of communicating with others as well as whether children and young people perceive the media and new technologies as a threat to traditional books and reading. The results of this study show that younger and younger people use the media and more than half of the surveyed people spend less than an hour a day on reading.
