I agree with the claim that Mass media and the internet, even though have caused people's attention to get shorter, overall have provided positive effect and have proved to be beneficial. Internet provides surge of information about every field possible, and mass media and internet supported platform provides these information to public in variant ways, thus overall providing a wide array of information to choose from.
If, for instance, we take the example of Instagram platform, it has wide variety of pages and profiles which deals with various field, some deals with facts, some with current political trends, fashions, Hollywood, Bollywood, education and many more. People following these pages are exposed to ample of information in real-time. It is true the information provided in these platform are rather precise, but that is to provide a quick screening process for the user to choose from, and then, there is also an option to read more about it.
