Print mass media include newspapers, books and magazines. In the twentieth century, they became less popular because of the technological progress and the new inventions. Broadcast media include, first of all, radio and television. These were the new inventions that partially replaced books and papers in the twentieth century. They made possible a more quick transmission of information. Moreover, television has become an extremely popular entertainment for everybody who has a TV set at home. There are hundreds of channels. Millions of people still watch movies and TV shows every day. Recently, though, all the previous types of mass media have given way to the newest, revolutionary service – the Internet. One can read paper articles and books, listen to broadcasted programs and music, watch videos, including online transmissions of the TV channels, and everything at one place: on the Internet. It is very convenient. Almost everybody can access the Internet via their mobile phones now. It is an instant way of transmitting information worldwide. In my opinion, the Internet is the best invention of the twentieth century. It is a fantastic thing that allows people to use knowledge and experience of the whole human community. I never read newspapers or watch television, I use the Internet instead. I can find there any information I need – from books for my studies to recipes and dance video lessons.
