Pros and Cons of digital media.

Pros and cons. Is it better or worse?

Digital Media certainly has affected modern day society. It has given the consumers a vast range of information and the opportunity to learn and educate ones self. But some people mat argue that the cons far out way the pros. While Digital media has improved they way we learn as a society, it has also caused problems. Here are some Pros and cons to Digital media

Pros:

• It has enabled us as a society to learn more, easier and faster. 
• It has allowed us to connect with people that we couldn't even imagine in doing so just 10 or 15 years ago
• Its made work easier and faster (especially if you're a student)
• Your work can be done faster more efficiently
• Digital media is very flexible with either PC, Mac, cellphone, television and even radio 
• If you need to know something you can look it up in seconds and have the answer

So while I only listed six examples of why digital media has improved modern day society, there are far more examples that can be used. But, there is cons to digital media and the people who are on the cons side of this topic have made some pretty good arguments. Here are some of the arguments they make.

 Cons:

• Its made it easier to steal information and call it yours (plagiarism) 
• Using Google actually hurts you more than it helps, because you're not really learning anything
• Made it easier and more tempting for students of all ages to cheat. Like on an exam, test or essay
• With the vast information out there, some of it is false and isn't accurate and misleading
• It can be a distraction. Instead of doing that 5 page report on biology some students may get on Twitter, Facebook and just surf the web.

 And with this, there is many more disadvantages with digital media. But the thing I want to know is, do the Advantages out weight the disadvantages?  Or is it the other way around? I would like other people to take in part of this to hear opinions. And feel free to add any more disadvantages or Advantages to the list.
