The Media in five years

     From what is happening now the media is trying to control the masses or make them think that nothing is wrong and if something goes wrong they have a ll the solutions. The media is slowly creeping towards total control of the masses. I would like to quote a hip hop artist Immortal Technique from his song The 4th Branch where he says "the 4th branch of government A.K.A. the media." You see aspects of control even in pop culture now with fashion and celebrities telling what to wear, listen, two, and watch. In my opinion the media in five years most likely will be close to trying to control many aspects of our lives in five years or less. Right now the sense of control is subtle but in five years I think it will be that the media will tell us what to do for almost every aspect of our lives.

     In fifteen years who knows what the media will be like and who knows what the whole world will be like. The rate that it's going now it could go two ways. One way is that there is a event that takes place, a threat to our national security, that gives the government control over everything and tells us everything that we do such as eating, working, sleeping, living. The other direction it could go is there is an event that does the complete opposite. There is no media no news and things just happen and no one nows about it people fending for themselves. This would most likely be a revolt of the people and they take over and the cycle continues. Another way is that nothing changes and the media is still the way it is today no one knows what is going to happen. Its the question that everyone asks what if?

     In 50 years I don't have the slightest idea of what's going to happen to this planet let alone the media. If i had to say something I would say by now with what is going on the media would control us. It would tell us what to do in every single aspect of our lives. In my opinion it would become what science fiction has been portraying with controlling governments and evil empires since its beginning. Who knows what will happen to the media in 50 years who knows if there will be a society or even a place to call home. It all depends on the actions of the people.
