This will be the first of a few Theoretical Theories I will spam for today. I found 'Media Dependency Theory' as something both interesting and shocking. To generalize, it states that media is able to fulfil and satisfy an individual's needs, which in turn makes them more dependent. Media online is more immediate and vast to fill one's needs for learning, which could even become addicting. If the media fails to persuade an individual, however, then they could become even less dependent on it (which occurs less often than not).
