<p align="justify">It is hard to think about any one hypothesis or hypothetical point of view that can clarify the assortment of manners by which individuals interface with innovative technology and the media. Technology runs the array from the match you strike to light a flame as far as possible up to complex atomic power plants that may control the manufacturing plant where the candle manufactures. Media could allude to the TV you watch, the advertisements wrapping the transport you take in ; routine on your way to school or office, or the booklet you go through while waiting for your appointment with doctor, also every one of the types of new media, including Instagram, Facebook, web journals, YouTube, and so forth. Are social media and technological advancement harmful to the upcoming period of humankind? It is safe to say that they are poisonous entrepreneur apparatuses that prompt the misuse of specialists around the world? It is safe to say that they are the enchantment shot the world has been sitting tight for to make everything fair and raise the world&#8217;s poor out of extraordinary neediness? Pick any conclusion and you will discover studies and researchers who concur with you– – and the individuals who oppose this idea (Berker, Hartmann, and Punie, 2005).
</p>
<h2 align="justify">Functionalism</h2>
<p align="justify">Since functionalism centers on how media and innovative technology add to the smooth working of society, a great place to start understanding this point of view is to compose a rundown of work you see media and innovation to perform. Your rundown may incorporate the capacity to collect data on the Internet, TV&#8217;s entertainment esteem, or how promotion and goods allocation assist to social benchmarks (Lumen, 2018).
</p>
<h2 align="justify">Commercial Function</h2>
<p align="justify">TV promoting is a very useful approach to meet a market statistic where it lives. Investors can utilize the advanced information assembled by system and TV satellite organizations with respect to their consumers and focus on their promotion as needs be. Regardless of whether you are watching cartoons on Nick Jr. or on the other hand a cooking episode on Tele fix, odds are that promoters have an arrangement to contact you. Business promotion goes before motion pictures in theaters and appears on and inside transportations, and on the sides of building and roadways. Significant enterprises, for example, Coca-Cola bring their publicizing into government funded schools, by supporting games fields or competitions, and also filling the corridors and cafeterias of those schools with candy machines selling their merchandise (Savage, 2004).
</p>
<h2 align="justify">Entertainment Function</h2>
<p align="justify">A conspicuous show of media is its stimulation esteem. Many people, were inquired as to why they sit in front of the TV or watch the motion pictures, would answer that they appreciate it. What&#8217;s more, the numbers surely represent that. While 2012 Nielsen investigation demonstrates a slight lessening of U.S. homes with TVs, the compass of TV is as yet huge. Moreover, the measure of time spent watching is similarly huge. Unmistakably, satisfaction is foremost. On the innovation side, also, there is an unmistakable enjoyment factor to the utilization of new advancements. From web based gaming to talking with companions on Facebook, innovation offers new and additionally energizing routes for individuals to engage themselves (Lumen, 2018). 
</p>
<h2 align="justify">Social Norm Functions</h2>
<p align="justify">Indeed, even while the media is offering us products and engaging us, it likewise serves to mingle us, helping us go along standards, qualities, and convictions to the upcoming generations. On a serious note, we are engaged and reserialized by media all through our entire lives. All types of media show us what is great and alluring, how we ought to talk, how we should act, and how we should respond to occasions. Media additionally gives us social touchstones amid occasions of national criticalness. What number of your aged relatives can reminiscence viewing the blast of the space shuttle Challenger on TV? What number of those perusing the reading of the occasions of September 11 or Hurricane Katrina on TV or Internet? (Savage, 2004).
</p>
<h2 align="justify">Conflict Perspective</h2>
<p align="justify">As opposed to speculations in the practical point of view, the contention viewpoint centers around the creation and multiplication of imbalance—social procedures that have a tendency to upset society as opposed to add to its smooth activity. When we take a contention viewpoint, one noteworthy concentration is the differential access to media and innovation exemplified in the advanced partition. Strife scholars additionally take a gander at who controls the media, and how media advances the standards of upper middle class white individuals in the United States while limiting the nearness of the regular workers, particularly ethnic minorities (Berker, Hartmann, and Punie, 2005).
</p>
<h2 align="justify">Control of Media and Technology</h2>
<p align="justify">Effective people and social organizations have a lot of impact over which types of innovative technologies are discharged, where and at what time they are discharged, and what sort of media is accessible for our utilization, which is a type of gatekeeping. Shoemaker and Voss (2009) characterize gatekeeping as the arranging procedure by which a great of many conceivable messages are molded into a broad communicative suitable shape and decreased to a reasonable amount. As it were, the administration ; responsible for the media choose what people in general is presented to, which, as C. Wright Mills (1956) broadly noted, is the core of media&#8217;s energy (Savage, 2004).
</p>
<h2 align="justify">Technological Social Control and Digital Surveillance</h2>
<p align="justify">Social researchers take the possibility of the surveillance society so truly that there is a whole diary dedicated to its investigation, Surveillance and Society. The panoptic surveillance imagined by and later investigated by Michel Foucault (1975) is progressively acknowledged as innovation used to screen everything we might do. This surveillance was envisioned as a type of steady checking in which the perception posts are decentralized and the watched is never spoken with specifically. Today, advanced surveillance cameras catch our developments, eyewitnesses can track us through our mobile phones, and police powers far and wide utilize facial-acknowledgment programming (Lumen, 2018).
