Respuesta :

      I could live without print media since it's not as relevant as before such as 20 years ago. To add, the environmental impact with the abundance of paper that needs to be made to provide this media isn't worth it since it's not the only option of media out there to use. And I wasn't even including the textile industry's havoc on nature. To focus back, my main point is that print media industry is dying out and it isn't worth trying to preserve.

    The second one is a little tricky when you think of all the things that can happen outside of daily life at least for me, but personally I feel that I would much rather have internet media stay in my life than broadcast media. Of course, broadcast media can be very important in diaster scenarios, but it just doesn't play a large part in my everyday life. Ideally networks like pbs are a great way to get news since they are a government service and are impartial to right or left thinking, but many don't use it like me. It could be a great valuable tool for getting informed especially in controversial discussions. As it is now I would rather have internet media as oppose to broadcast media has it has pertain to my life.

Hello! pick one of these!

Choice one:

I could live without print media because I really don’t like to read unless I need to for my schoolwork. I think other types of media are more interesting.

I don’t think I could live without internet media because I use internet-based radio and television a lot. I really like listening to music on my Alexa and watching Netflix on my TV. To make it better, I would like the internet to never glitch.

Choice two:

I could live without social media because it seems overall pointless in my opinion. Mostly because you did not gain anything from using social media and there's many more efficient ways of sharing information. There's no type of media I could not live without. The closest sing fism media that I could not live without is the emergency alert systems.

Choice Three:

I think I could live without radio because I don't listen to the radio often and I usually listen to music via iPhone.I think I CANNOT live without internet and broadcast media because i'm usually active on both of those and It's what I usually do when I don't have schoolwork to do.

I hope i helped!! have an amazing day.
