    As noted earlier, the media can have a negative effect on the youth;however, there are some good things the media can do. According to this web site, the media can be a good thing: "Media makes the lives of the people at ease, along with Information and Communication Technologies; they produce to increase the standard of living for the people to spend time..." Media is a way for young people to voice their opinion via Facebook, email, or Twitter (along with many more web sites). Media is also a way for people to stay informed on particular topics. Media is a way to get information to people, which is a positive effect on younger people.
