Internet has also enabled the users to shop online, in education, to work remotely and for financial transactions. Although the internet has proven to be beneficial it has negative impact to human life. Internet has greatly affected human behavior. The internet has resulted to individuals focusing on social media conversations. People hardly hang out together and spend most of their energy in social media tools. Usage of the internet has both internal and external impacts. The internal impact of the usage of the internet is psychological, emotional and personality problems. The external effects are the functionality of the internet user and problems that are linked to reduced activities. (Diomidous, et al 2016)
Electronic media development and evolution has greatly affected my personal life. I greatly depend on electronic media tools to get information. I believe that these tools have made me to be more of an introvert and lose my communication skills. I normally find it challenging interacting with other people in a social settings. This is one of the negative impacts of electronic media development. The positive influence is that it has made me to increase my circle of friends.
Development psychology is significant in understanding the way human learn, mature and adopt. Electronic media development and evolution will enhance development psychology profession. Through electronic media tools I will be able to obtain information about human development. Interaction with a number of people in electronic media will also help me to learn about human development. In general I believe that electronic media tools will be of great significance in my profession.
