Mass Media as an Agency of Education Multimedia systems have become essential to our understanding of today's world because of information technology's rapid development in the twentieth century. Thanks to multimedia, new forms of socialisation and identities are emerging, both individually and collectively. Networks and technology have made it easier to communicate with people all over the country and the world. The use of real-time communication media in education has far-reaching consequences. Media serves a number of important roles. Socialization, acculturation, and knowledge dissemination in educational institutions are all made possible by the media in today's world. Educational and non-educational media has found its place for both children and adults. People of all ages could benefit from the media's ability to teach them useful skills, knowledge and attitudes. The rapid advancement of information technology in the last quarter of the twentieth century has made it easier to collect, process, and disseminate knowledge. A paradigm shift in human behaviour was ushered in by the introduction of mass communication systems. Cameras mounted on space shuttles provide close-up televised images of the moon and other interstellar bodies. In recent years, the transmission of television shows from one part of the world to another has become the norm. SITE has made it easy for Indians to access weather and other information from around the world (Satellite Information Television: Experiment). E-mail, like educational broadcasting computer networks, has revolutionised how people obtain and process information. E-mail For example, CDs and DVDs. ETV, or educational television, has proven to be an effective teaching tool in both formal and informal settings.

This has opened up new avenues for scientific research and development because of the rapid advancements in information technology in many previously isolated regions. Researchers from developing countries will be able to access an international database and virtual labs more easily, which will help to reduce the brain drain.

The Response of Society According to the Delors Commission, the inventions of the twentieth century, such as tape recorders, radio and television audio and video recording systems, computers, cable and satellite broadcasting, and others, have not only added a technological dimension but also had a significant economic and social impact (P-169) Modern technologies are characterised by two characteristics: low cost and small size. A growing number of people, both in developed and industrialised nations, have easy access to them. In India, remote rural communities in hilly or zibal areas now have access to previously inaccessible information and knowledge thanks to satellite transmission. Unbeknownst to me, the government has provided radio and television sets to every home in the region.

schooling in different panchayats Efforts are being made to disseminate this information and technology to as many people as possible. Villagers in the isolated community will begin to experience mental and behavioural shifts as a result of their increased exposure to the rest of the world. You can help your community by using the media and public awareness.

People in remote rural areas can improve the quality of their personal and social lives through the generation of information thanks to the development of information technology and communication. Distance education programmes and better communication can help rural residents better understand and appreciate the role of physical, biological, social, educational, and cultural factors in their lives.

Media's Potential for Education Technology-based media systems are a valuable educational resource in a developing society like India, which has a population of over one billion people and is committed to lifelong learning. Many different aspects of a

person's personal and professional life can benefit from its use. You could say that the commonality amongst all of these IT applications is that they all have an educational effect on people. In both formal and informal educational settings, today's media can be used for a variety of educational purposes. Media can benefit both individuals and groups in education. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are becoming increasingly important in non-formal education (Distance Learning Mode).

Computers and multimedia systems can be used to create personalised learning paths for each student, allowing them to proceed at their own pace.

The compact disc (CD) technology plays an important role because of its ability to store large amounts of data, including audio, video, and text. Students can use interactive media to ask questions and look up personal information. The research shows that students who struggle in traditional classrooms are more likely to show their strengths and demonstrate a greater level of motivation and curiosity when learning in an informal setting.

In the end, the development of these technologies is not meant to replace textbooks or teachers. There is a specific role for each child in their education. As important as online resources have become, textbooks still play a significant role in education. In the classroom, teachers use them as visual aids and students use them to review material. They don't diminish the importance of teachers, but they do provide them with an opportunity that they need to grasp. In fact, educators today cannot be viewed as the sole source of information that they can pass on to the next generation of learners. A shared knowledge base is built up from this experience. Because of the advancement of these technologies, the teacher's role has changed significantly. Additionally, teachers are required to assist students in learning how to locate and evaluate information. Learning a new language is like mastering the teacher's proficiency for him....
