Abstract :In the rapidly changing world after the Industrial Revolution, all physical elements, especially technology, as well as approaches, have changed beyond recognition in a few centuries. Scientific discoveries and new technologies have changed many elements of life, from living spaces to professions, from educational opportunities to entertainment. In this period, which is called the Modern Age, approaches, philosophies of life and goals have also changed. The communication and entertainment tools used in traditional life, mostly in rural areas, have been replaced by high-tech multifunctional and attractive vehicles. The functions and fun features of modern tools have made people dependent on themselves. Especially after the Digital Revolution, computer-based transactions, sharing and new media-based communication and entertainment opportunities have become widespread all over the world. With the development of various possibilities for official transactions, private transactions, communication and sharing actions in the digital environment, new media has become the main business and communication tool all over the world.
