New media is consumed in fragmented, there are many types of new media and many different ways to consume new media out there. one can consume many different types of media throughout the day if one checks Face Book in the morning then Instagram at night that is fragmented media. Although it is easy to spend 6-8 hours on a phone looking at media and interacting with others there are healthier way to consume media some of which include setting limits on iPhone’s, not bringing ones phone into ones room at night and consuming better medias like the National Geographic or other reliable news source. researchers have said, “what you consume counts more than how much media you consume. ten hours a day dealing with trolls on twitter does more harm”(Donovan 2018). New Media is the future of communication and with all the flashy technology gadgets it is easy to forget that the best form of communication is face to face.
