Media Technology Affects

The media is the main ways that large numbers of people receive information and entertainment, that is television, radio, newspapers, and the Internet. Media technology has it's good affects and bad affects. In this modern era, many people uses Internet media for their own purposes like for example searching for information, doing research, chatting, and also playing games.
The Internet is an international computer network connecting other networks and computer from companies, universities, and others. Nowadays, the Internet is popular among the society especially youths. They believe that the Internet bring numerous advantages in this era. In my opinion, there is no doubt that the Internet has good influences in improving people's knowledge. It also keeps everyone informed everyday. Plus, the Internet can also help us to learn more about culture, history, geography, science, and others through the abundance source on the Internet.
However, over use of computer may brings the bad physical effects. For example, some people harm their eyes by sitting in front of the screen for a long time without rest. Furthermore, the Internet also separate us from the real world. We can communicate with friends and family through MSN, Myspace, Yahoo, or Facebook instead of going out with family or meeting friends. Therefore, we can lose our sensibilities in relationship and also having a difficulty in real communication. In additions, a lot of websites contain erroneous information, violent, sexy films, and videos. In conclusion, besides from improving our knowledge i think that the internet media technology has increasingly affect in a bad ways both physical and emotions to us.

Emotions

Emotion is the part of a person’s character that consists of feelings, thoughts, and behaviour. Emotions can be subjectively experienced from an individual point of view. People often behave in their own certain ways as a direct result from their emotional state such as crying, happy, fighting, frustrating, angry, or sad. However, anyone that have their emotion without the corresponding behaviour then we can consider their behaviour is not essential to the emotion. Emotions can motivate us to act and keep us working hard to settle differences and also reconcile important conflicts with people. Besides that, emotion also plays a role for a good communication. This is because by showing any emotions to our listeners or speakers, they might get the message by just looking at our emotions. Furthermore, by expressing our emotions in constructive way and at an appropriate time in any negotiation, we can gain important information and learn better in a good communication.

Effective Communication

Effective communication is the activity of expressing ideas and feelings or giving people information. Listening and speaking is important for a good communication during our daily life. It is useful for listener to have the same understanding as the speakers. Plus, learning non-verbal communication such as body language and facial expression is also important depends on the situation. Active listening is a good technique for an effective communication. An active listener will understands and give the speaker time to think as well to talk. So, be an active listener because it can make us a successful communicator.
