Media.
It's been around for a long time.
Spanning back to the times of town criers, even further- to now

It can be a powerful tool to those who know how to wield it.
Yet, it's only powerful because we give it power - because we give a damn.
Nothing comes preordained.

Look at all the influential people we have had in history-
They were only influential because their words or actions were heeded by us.
Otherwise, they could've very well been babbling crazies...
Is it starting to make sense?
It's all about the application and intent.

The media is essentially, a double edged sword.
It can be used for good - or for bad.
It can be misused.
It can be even be used to fight the good fight.
Really, it can be used for many things.. to promote others.. or defame them.

It's like a gun.
People can use a gun to murder others... or they can use a gun to rescue others.
People can use media to harm others... or they can use media to save others.
It's really that simple.
We... go through life, underestimating our true potentials.
In the end - to realize that - media was always just a tool.
As with all tools...
Its value goes hand-in-hand with its users, the ones who give it purpose.
