Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1, Explain why the current younger generation is more or less likely to be influenced by media, discussing such points as greater access to and volume of available information, increased speed of information dissemination, and the rapid growth in new media outlets.
2, Explain how the current younger generation is more likely to be influenced by new electronic media such as the Internet and social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook, as well as alternative media outlets that blend news and entertainment with programs like The Colbert Report or The Daily Show, due to the integration of these media in their daily lives. Contrast this with previous generations who were more likely to be influenced by traditional forms of media such as print and television.
