Too Much Media?

What would happen if all the Media in the world were taken away? What would happen if even HALF of the devices we use today suddenly just vanished?

From Cell phones to television and the computer the world has become a slave to such devices and the Media use this to their advantage. America is all about making money; advertisers and manufacturers constantly create bigger and better things to entertain the world so that they will make more money. The problem is; the devices that are supposed to make our lives easier and more efficient are actually quite useless. Sure, the internet is a nice tool to use to gain information in a quicker way than simply doing the research on your own and in a library. The unfortunate thing is that there are quite a few people who use things such as the internet in order to post "stupid" things and misinformation.

If cell phones were gone, people would have to get creative once again in order to get a hold of each other. Texting is a form of communication that allows even the shyest person to be bold in a matter of seconds. However; we could live without such devices. Think about it.
