Essay over 500 word

Essay 500-800 words.

“The internet has given audiences much more power than ever before.” To what extent do you agree with this statement?

Music Industries.

The changes that have appeared in music industries are that the songs are more pop music then what it used to be, in the old times it used to be jazz and other old type songs that wouldn’t use auto tune or editing skills with computers, nowadays we use editing and music videos which make it sound better and the quality is better,  back then there was no internet so many people didn’t know when a song was realised, now we know when a song is made because of apps like: YouTube, Spotify, sound cloud and other apps that would show the song also radios now do pop music and songs when are realise has well but now radios are not about traffic these days they are mostly music and other things. The songs are sometimes played at festivals and new year songs which shows that

Television industries.
The advantages of television these days are that there are more improved technology and the graphics are better than they used to be so more people would see whats happening around the world or there city also the advantage to this is that there are a huge source of information and that there are also entertainment for kids and adults like cartoons and other TV shows to relax and chill but there are also some that are different like horror or informational like the news, there are plenty of channels with plenty of topics that would help people of any age to find what they want.The disadvantages of television is not all information could be true and that they could be dangerous for everyone's health and that there are more crime type shows then regular and calm shows this shows that the tv companies are showing more violence since teenagers or adults mostly sit on computers which will give a TV less profit and more TV shows will be leaving which will make them lose even more profit. Also TV makes us antisocial and taking the place of family and friends because people can get easily addicted.

Newspaper Industry:
The advantages of Newspaper industries are that they do not get old and are on paper which isn't bad for you if you stare at them which will mean you are doing no harm to your health, Most newspaper will be more about the economics of the country or city which will make them realise whats going on and make them more interested also newspapers can make a good habit in today's life and do not spend lots of time on technology which will make them more energetic and it wont be bad for there eyes. The disadvantage of a newspaper is that someone who is writing could be wrong and lie about the information or the newspaper isn't durable which means that if it gets soaked or wet it will rip and you wont know about the news,also there are less people that buy newspaper which means that not all advertisers are getting has much profit has they used to so they would of moved to a modern one like on a laptop also there are mostly true and are less mistakes so it will be more efficient and easy to get money.

In conclusion, i think that the internet has give way more power than ever before because we can see how its changed and awe can clearly see this that it has changed in many ways and everyone uses the internet to google something e.g weather or the news which shows that technology has really expanded and over took the old times without internet or good TV reports.
