“The internet has given
audiences much more power than ever before.”
Introduction:
I completely agree with this statement because of
the following reasons why. some of the reasons I agree with the point is
a personal use as the internet, the internet is one of the most used product
with over 4.48 billion people using it.advantages of the internet is its ability to
connect billions of computers and devices to each other. Not only does
the Internet create convenience in sharing and receiving information
between users, but another advantage of the modern Internet is also its
ability for automation.some of the disadvantages of the internet are:
·
Bullying, trolls, stalkers, and crime. ...
·
Addiction, time-waster, and causes distractions. ...
·
Never being able to disconnect from work. ...
·
Identity theft, hacking, viruses, and cheating. ...
·
Depression, loneliness, and social isolation
and some of the advantages are:
·
Information, knowledge, and learning. ...
·
Connectivity, communication, and sharing. ...
·
Address, mapping, and contact information. ...
·
Banking, bills, and shopping. ...
·
Selling and making money. ...
·
Collaboration, work from home, and access to a global workforce. ...
·
Donations and funding. ...
·
Entertainment.
Music Industry:
firstly, the Internet has changed the music industry in both positive and negative ways ... The consequence is that the Internet has made it difficult for musicians (and their companies, if
applicable) to earn a decent amount of money from
music sales in many ways
in one hand the positives for the
music industry are;
Perhaps paradoxically, the same
Internet that created all the above-mentioned problems can also be the key to an artist, particularly in the case of independent artists who are not
part of the current "industry system." Simply put, the Internet allows
people all over the world to communicate with others. It enables many smart
artists who are otherwise obscure to pursue their own fans without the need for
a major label's support or help, effectively removing the need for talent
scouts or A&R representatives to "discover." It can in some
situations result in exposure from the labels themselves (many established
recording artists around the world today have been putting up their own stuff
on YouTube).In other cases, it simply means that without the need for a label
or radio promotion, they can market and sell their own music to their audience.
The market may not be as large as it would otherwise be— but the artist should
not share their hard profits with the labels either. The consequence is
that music fans now have access to a lot of music that they'd never experience
before, and many forward-thinking artists have leveraged the internet to gain
their own nice income without ever courting a record label.
in the other hands, the negatives for
the music industry is;
Although vast sections of the population are hailing the Internet era to make music cheaper and easier to
purchase (or steal), the drawback is that the business side of music is failing
to generate enough revenue because of new technology. Most of the people who
are part of making a record are paid in royalties, and whenever music changes
hands without involving money, those royalties could not be paid — which is why
so much has been done to try and reduce music piracy in recent years. Much progress
has been made in curbing this phenomenon by providing fast, low-cost
downloading from platforms like iTunes and Amazon; this has improved as
customers can now purchase and sell specific songs they like instead of buying
the entire album for just one track. The advent of Internet radio and streaming
services such as Spotify and Pandora, which sell their music collections as
ad-based or paying subscription access was a more recent development.
However, artists and labels are still disputing this new solution at the moment
because the current pay structures are still much lower than if a consumer
purchases the music directly. These problems are far from being solved.
overall I would say the Internet has
changed the music industry greatly in recent years, in ways, there are both
positive and negative side effects. One thing is for certain: the
Internet isn’t going away anytime soon, so the music industry will have to find
a way to adapt to it, rather than to fight it. If history is any indicator,
eventually the current issues will work themselves out. Time may soon reveal
that the Internet has been more friend than foe to the music business.
Film and TV Industry
What changes have happened to the film and television industry since the rise of the Internet?
secondly, the Internet has changed the film and television industry from Netflix mailing CD on 29 August 1997 to make there own films and series which was the house of cards and the first film was "Beasts of No Nation". Also, streaming and catch-up services are now available on things like "on-demand, catchup " and with the rice of technology you can know watch on the go on devices like mobile, tablets, and laptops which gives the consumer to watch there favourite films and programs on the bus, on the way to work and not on the TV at home. another advantage is people can know binge-watch as the Internet has let that happen. sadly there are also some disadvantages as there are monthly subscriptions and they might have to wait a long period of time to get new shows/films on theses apps. anther disadvantage for the film and TV industries are piracy and Apps such as Showbox that give the consumer the newest film and shows for free which is is bad for services like Netflix and amazon prime.
Newspaper Industry!
Finally, changes have occurred in the newspaper (print) industry due for instance, to the internet; a growth in online news that is sometimes available,' citizen journalism' has risen where anyone can repost news live and print sales have declined due to online news. There are many advantages due, for example, to changes in the internet; the news is updated more frequently (printing has often been outdated due to frequent news changes), In bringing media online and more news sources to choose from, the world has improved. Although there are also disadvantages such as ' Fake News ' which is a problematic source and it is not possible to regulate facts, there is also ' Pay Wall ' where you still have to pay online the gives the audience the power in music in news and anything they want to do
In conclusion the internet has significantly increased users ' power ever before.
