What have been some of the effects of the new media on society?

New media affected many things in our society in many different ways. We changed from writing a letter to e-mail or talk on the phone; search something from book to online search engine.
One of the big impacts that affected our society is the communication in the social networking sties. I think everyone has at least one account from those sites. Social networking sites connected people everywhere around the world. We can express our thought in there.
New media also affected business society. People check through social networking site after they read the resume. According to the article “Social Networking Technology Boosts Job Recruiting”, Crawford-Hentz search through those sites to hire employee.
New media has negative effects on our society too. People download illegal files online. Some sites are not safe for teenagers to go in.
However, new media make our life go smoother and easier. It keep us connect to others who live far away. We can meet new people and stay anonymity.
