Introduction
In this short essay I will be discussing the impact that electronic information has on individuals and also as a society.

I will be focusing on a wide range of electronic information types like television, DAB radios, Internet
Impact On Me
Electronic information has benefited me in many ways, TV provides with information that helped me with my GCSE’s with channels like ‘Discovery’ as they provide a lot of documentary’s on subjects that are taught in schools but are better with imagery for me as I am a visual learner. There are however some major disadvantages of TV for me these are an easy distraction from homework or my chores when they have to be done and the fact that not all information provided on the TV can be trusted or be 100% accurate.
Another piece of electronic information that has also helped me greatly is that of the World Wide Web (WWW.) also known as the internet.
