The Internet has had a major effect on media.
The internet's rise has put print media such as magazines and newspapers on life support due to the ability to access information faster and easier online.
Media such as music, movies, and television are affected by piracy or streaming sites.
The internet has also brought about the rise of social media, allowing users to produce and distribute their own content through blogs, podcasts, and sites like youtube.

Internet and Communication
The Internet has changed the way we communicate in negative and positive ways.
The Negative
Some would argue that the internet has made us more impersonal. A lot of people would rather use social networking sites than have face to face conversations.
The Positive
Social networking sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn allow us to stay in touch or even reconnect with old friends, family members, classmates and business associates that we would not have been in contact with otherwise.
The Internet has significantly changed the way we communicate with one another. But, like all technology, it is up to the individual to determine the impact that the Internet has had on their life.

I generally try to keep a low profile online. So, please bear with me as I struggle to come up with things to post about...
