How technology has changed in the Media...

Technology in the news media is an important thing as the news around the world has to get to people throughout the world. We rely on the news to broadcast the information on many topics that relate to us in life. Throughout the years,  media technology has changed dramatically. One of the ways that news media technology has changed is through the weather. Weather forecasts are vital in life for social and business plans. Although weather is tough to predict with new and better technology, meteorologists are able to do this effectively.  Second news media technology that has changed is through how we get financial news. Financial news such as the stock market which many people make their living on. They need to know how their stocks are doing and need the equipment to do so on the spot trading and buying. Another way news media technology has changed is through the Internet. Internet technology has also changed a great deal over the past years and many people use the Internet to get their daily news rather than watching the news on TV. People who read magazines and lifestyle magazines, they have access via QR codes for smartphones and android phones which are scanned by them and this directs them to the website for the magazine and they are able to find out the latest information from there. This QR code is starting to be used more than barcodes which are used in the shops. So QR codes seem to save money rather than purchasing the magazine for a price.
