There are many electronic media in our life, such as video games, computers, TV and cell phones. The electronic media have advantages and disadvantages. If we make good use of electronic media, we will get good benefits from them. Most of us rely on electronic media deeply. If electronic media disappeared someday, what would occur to us? As far as I am concerned, the disappearing of the electronic media would influence us in searching for information, communicating with friends and family, and getting news.

First of all, the disappearing of the electronic media would influence our way of searching for information. For example, when we need to search for information for our report, we use the computer to do that. Using computers to search for information is very convenient and fast. We can also save much time looking for information. By contrast, if we couldn’t use computers to look for information, we would spend a lot of time searching from newspapers, magazines and books. The computer is a very convenient tool for us to locate the information we need.

The second reason is that it was not convenient for us to communicate with our friends and family if there were no cell phones or telephones. For example, when we had something serious to tell our friends or family, we could only use letters to communicate with them or we could only talk with them face to face. Those two ways are inconvenient for us. Without cell phones or telephones, we cannot communicate with our friends and family immediately.

Third, it is not convenient for us to get the news immediately. We use TV or computers to get the news around the world when any event happens. Without a TV or a computer we cannot know the news immediately and we may not follow the footsteps of the world. We can only read news items on newspapers that are usually hours even days later than the occurrence of the events. In short, electronic media have a great impact on us. We use electronic media every day, and they influence us in every aspect of our life. If we did not have electronic media, it wouldn’t be convenient for us to do anything.
