Communication today has become so fast that in a matter of seconds we can know what is happening anywhere in the world.
Of course, we could not say with certainty that what comes as information is totally true, since a fact is always subject to multiple interpretations, more so if what comes to us is partial, it could undoubtedly lead us to bad conclusions about what is perceived, or in other words, to conclusions that the media want us to reach.
Nowadays the media are a great power, there is no doubt that they do not always transmit what happens but what they want to highlight, generally there are great interests linked to the media, men and institutions of power that can make something become trend according to their convenience.
This is usually the main reason why most states tend to have -or at least claim to have control over social media on television and radio.
On the other hand, there is a way in which even more information is handled, which is what we know as social networks, it is one of the most used ways nowadays to send information from one side to another, among other things. Nowadays there are a great number of them, the most used are centralized, and they have become not only a space to share images of your life, but for some it has become a job. *They have even led to the emergence of certain professions or careers for some, for example the well-known Influencers.
It is from social networks that more people in the world are currently being reached.
These are more difficult to control by the states, they have become a great tool when it comes to getting information that otherwise would not have been possible. For example, if only radio or newspapers existed, as was the case a few decades ago, censorship would be much easier. As indeed it was.
So, times are changing, there's no doubt about that, and as far as information and technology is concerned, everything seems to be coming much faster...
Do you think the media is used properly in your country? Have you seen any kind of control by the state?
I'd like your opinion on that.
Thank you very much for reading my publication.
See you next time.

definitely social networks increase the information capacity, but at the same time they are an element to create chaos and toxicity, in that sense I find them very dangerous. And examples of how social networks dominate there are many, u each particular is twitter with their decisions biased to close accounts of certain countries government institutions for being contrary to their policies
If, while something is centralized, there is that possibility, I think it is a different nuance to be seen, on the one hand decisions can be made much faster, but on the other hand they can be made arbitrarily.
Thnak you for commenting @reinaldoverdu.
The best thing about all this revolution in terms of the media is that more and more will be much better, unless you live in a blocked country of which we know there are many, it includes the country where you were born .. but well let's hope that changes soon.
however here we are communicating in a decentralized social environment.
Yes, countries' policies affect their technological development. No doubt about it.
That's a point I'll develop in a future post.
