Mass media indeed increase the types and styles of communication we used to own. Cannot imagine that people can talk and see each other through the internet though they are thousand mile away in the past years. It is the excessive use of mass media of people themselves that cause much negative effect.
On the other hand, how to utilize mass media scientifically and rationally has become the key question. As discussed in the implications and suggestions section, the right attitude towards using occasion and time is the guarantee of avoid of negative effect. Only be apprehensive of the problem can people avoid the disadvantages and benefit from mass media. The rational use of mass media should be a vital concern for both individual and the whole society.
