According to Kerby Anderson (2001), the writer of New Media and Society stated that the use of Internet is actually makes people think differently. As we know that the older and younger generations really have different mind on the way there are thinking. With the opinion, ideas and thought that are been given from two groups somehow give the impact on the use of Internet. It allows people to actually shared and threw out all the ideas that they got to the world.

According to Serajul l. Bhulyan (2006), the new media contains many sources of truth that people can actually answer their questions or any that bother them.

Plenty research is needed to what is actually happening and go in depth to confirm it as it true unless we rather to be shame.
