inventions have been introduced as “new media” including radio, television,
video-games, smartphones, and note-pads. They have become essential parts of
our life. Many researchers have pointed out a lot of benefits from media use,
such as: fostering knowledge, better navigations,
connectedness, and health.

hands, since violence has been embedded into video-games; and many sexual
activities, smoking, drinking behaviors have predominated entertainment
programs on media channel, harmful influences have been rising like violence, sex and health problems.
