Media in our life Nowadays more and more types of media play important roles in communicating information. However, the traditional media, such as books, radio and televisions are still predominant in our daily life. Every coin has two sides, so do these three types of media. Books generally convey literal information, which people can get by reading. When they read books, they tend to be more dedicated to what information they are exposed to. So leaving a relatively deep impression is one of the advantages of books. But frankly speaking, books are becoming less and less attractive with the development of science and technology. As for radio, the vocal information occupies a vital role. Its biggest advantage undoubtedly is the convenience for people receiving information. Despite where you are and what you are occupied in, you have access to the information conveyed by radio, just turning it on. For example, when you are driving, the radio can help keep you away from boredom. However, the exclusive vocal message is limited to convey information without any visual information. At this point, televisions make up the deficiency of visual information, which provide various sorts of programs for people. The information is more graphic and vivid, for people can receive not only vocal but also visual message at the same time. But the variety of contents meanwhile contributes to some disadvantages, such as the disorder of information, too much inessential information and so on. From my point of view, televisions are the most effective for communicating information. Although sometimes lots of TV programs are full of unnecessary information, this type of media gains increasing popularity among modern people. What's more, the information conveyed by them is definitely impressive so that people can readily accept it.
