“Growing Up in the Media World: A Case Study”
The world we live today has fundamentally
changed with the introduction of modern communications
technology. With the presence of radio, television,
computer, direct broadcast satellites, magazines and
newspapers human communication becomes easier and very
accessible.
Introduction
We are now growing up in the
center of a technological revolution. Digital media
defines our lives in unprecedented ways like
spending more time online, texting, watching TV
and movies, and playing video games than
we do in school or with our families.
Introduction
The purpose of this case study is
to present the kind of life growing
up with media and present studies
and findings which will give us insights and
eventually take part in making use of
these technologies fruitful and educational one.
Introduction
Television
device use for the transmission of visual
images of moving and stationary objects,
generally with accompanying sound, as
electromagnetic waves and reconversion of
received waves into visual images.

According to the United Nations study, the
average daily use of television among those
school age children around the world with
access ranges from between 1.5 hours to
more than four hours; many of these
same children will rarely read a book.

United Nations (2002) revealed that use of
Television is the most common activity done
by children around the world while the
use of internet is widely increasing.

processes data by following a set of
instructions (program) to produce an accurate

In spite of significant differences among the
developed and developing world, the use of
computers and the internet is rising steadily,
fastest among young men.

(Common Sense Media, 2009) revealed that 93%
of kids with age ranging from 12
to 17 are online users. While online,
53% listen to MP3 players, 40% talk
on the phone, 39% watch TV, 24%
do their homework.

Regularly there are questions about the "effects"
of all these media on children.
Is it good for them?
Is it bad for them?
Will passive TV viewing cause permanent changes
in brain functioning?
Discussion/Insights
Does violence breed violence?
Does loud music over stimulate kids so
they can't sleep properly?
Will too many commercials cause narcissistic
over consumption?
Discussion/Insights
There are no simple answers to these
questions. However, it is also evident that
growing numbers of incidents involving the use
of media technology has been observed.
Discussion/Insights
In discussing this topic, much more is
involved than lamenting the "effects" of too
much television or computer use. We adults
often think we know more than the
children who are smaller and younger and
thus "less experienced."
Discussion/Insights
But now children can be much updated
to what is the latest buzz around
than what we know. What we must
do is to be aware of the
pros and cons that technology can offer
to us and it is now our
responsibility to do the filtering.
Discussion/Insights
We must choose not just because we
liked the idea but we must also
base it on our moral, social, cultural
and even spiritual obligation.
Discussion/Insights
We teachers are one of the most
influential people around the world.
Discussion/Insights
Therefore aside from our leaders, we should
be the one to make moves to
continue, preserve and ensure that our race
will not be somewhat like that of
the history of dinosaurs where you can
only find and read them through the books.
Discussion/Insights
Truly this is a big challenge to face
but if others are not accepting it,
We should be!
