Abstract

With the development of technology, the arrival of big data has brought great conveniences to people’s daily life. The wide application of 5G has also brought unprecedented development opportunities to the contemporary media industry. Almost everyone cannot live without technology. Therefore, the paper focus on the impact that technology has brought to contemporary media. In order to improve the accuracy and credibility of the article, the author conducted a questionnaire survey on the Internet when referring to official data. This paper will evaluate the influence from a subjective perspective. It will discuss the merits brought by technology from three aspects: convenience of life, employment forms and cultural transmission. Besides, this will analyze its disadvantages from three aspects: pan-entertainment, spreading false information and leaking personal privacy. From the conclusion of the article, the effects of technology do have both pros and cons. While the public enjoys the preferential treatment, they are also inevitably affected by its negative effects. The public should assess these effects from a subjective perspective. The media industry needs to consider social responsibility as well as economic interests. The media industry supervision department should make some improvements and positive adjustments based on user feedback. Also, the relevant departments are supposed to strengthen supervision and stop the illegal behavior and punish it in time.Last but most importantly, the development of the contemporary media industry needs to rely on the power of morality.
