Is Digital Media bad for us and our society?

    With the path that digital media is taking right now, I can't see where it could be "bad" for our society. It's given all of us a way to communicate with each other here in our own country as well as over seas. We can use digital media to express our own ideas, thoughts, and emotions. Digital media is also a great source of advertising for those of us who can't exactly spend a lot of money on newspaper, magazine, TV, or even billboard advertising.
    Our educational providers can use digital media to expand children's exposure on events that are not only happening states away but countries away also... Our children and ourselves can literally explore other countries and nationalities to learn about their culture, religions, etc. by just sitting in a classroom or the convenience of our own home. With the invention of iPads, companies shouldn't even have to worry about the over-use of paper for text books and our country can keep on with the fight of "going green". Especially since most digital media is so easy to use, even elementary kids could start learning through these devices.
