Michael Wesch is a cultural anthropology professor who explores the effects of new media on society and culture. He believes that all human relationships depend on communication. Change the type of communication, and you change the relationships. 【B1】________
One example of this, he says, is television. When television became the dominant medium in the 1950s, it changed the way families interacted. 【B2】________The people on the television spoke, and the TV viewers listened. In this one-way type of communication, only the people on TV had power. Only they had a voice.
Today, the Internet is changing our relationships again. 【B3】________Wesch and his students study social networks and other interactive Internet sites. For example, they studied YouTube. As Wesch explains, " Instead of simply watching TV, we can create and edit our own videos." Viewers all over the world can watch and write comments. This kind of sharing changes the way we communicate. With the Internet, everyone can have a voice.
Wesch created and posted his own short video on YouTube. It has had more than 11 million views. The video asks us to think about how we use and interact with the Internet. The Internet is no longer just connecting people with information. It’s connecting people with people. It’ s a way for us to share our thoughts and ideas with the world. It wouldn’ t exist without us.
Wesch wants to make changes in education to fit this new style of communication. He has made some changes in his own classes. For example, in his Introduction to Cultural Anthropology class, he didn’t simply teach his students about different cultures. Instead, he asked each student to become an expert in one culture. Then the class used their knowledge to create an online role-playing game. 【B4】________
According to Wesch, activities such as the role-play exercise help prepare students to be active and responsible members of society. " I ask students to think not about what new media was designed for," he says, "but how they can use it for something else." A great example, he believes, is social media. It was created to help friends connect, but now it also allows people to share and collaborate on projects.
【B5】________ However, he warns that online content can also be misleading. He believes that it’s important for everyone, especially students, to understand the dangers of digital media and learn how to use it wisely.

D. Change the relationships, and you change the structure of society.

F. Wesch understands that the new media can provide opportunities for sharing and participation.
G. The newest media of communication are on the Internet, and these media change and grow every day. [br] 【B1】
