The Effect of New Media on Society

Society today is filled with concepts, ideals, and other aspects of which are affected by New Media. One way I think it has affected us all is the way we look at entrepreneurship. I know all of us have wished we came up with the idea for Google, Myspace, Facebook, or any other website whose concept isn't that far fetched, and are now worth billions of dollars. New Media such as blogs have empowered us all in that anyone can sign up, and share their opinions, thoughts, and writing with the entire internet community. It has affected the laws that we have in our country, beginning with Napster and whether it is legal or illegal to share music and other forms of entertainment over the internet with one another. We have had to create and modernize laws to these new creations don't end up with their creators and users in jail. Society will have to adapt to these new technological institutions that continue to be created and affect us in our everyday lives.
