The advance process of mass media having transformations of digital technologies deals on how people participate, intervene and react to shape the world in the coming future. The core development of the industrial modes of communication are constantly evolving having developed broadcasting mass media platforms having historical progression from hot metal to Hotmail initializing progressive society performance having creation of corporate relations and international trade (Hirst, 2014).
Concept of Living and working in a material world
The historical change of development based on materialistic transformation of digital technology based on the usages of modern social mass media tools has interchanging the human thoughts constantly. The increased usage of mass media digital tools like social media and websites promotes database exchange meeting up real time situational needs of the people in terms of new product launch and its consumption. Majority of the global population are more in mass media platforms that influence better material reach through changing human senses to analyes its real value resulting in developed society (Spence, 2018).
Analysis of information revolution
The establishment of a new era of digital communication mass median the industrial sector through the political and economical support from the government and other companies engaging in investments executing new production materials inviting and impacting large volumes of the society. As opined by (Suleiman, 2019), this creates informative resources for society to establish connections for greater data exchange and generation in the digital industrial sectors. All the traditional mass media tools are getting transformed into efficient digital media forms influencing society efficiently.
Challenges of digital dialect
The process of converging technology of mass media creates problematic issues of adaptability and flexibility about the thinking motion change and how the society will embrace the new change. The establishment of positive social relations with the proper application of the mass media tools often becomes a more polarised pattern of mass media influence failing to reach the diversified cultural backgrounds in a global society.

According to (Jaques, 2019), the establishment of the proper economic exchange through mass media practices promotes better commodity identification and creating greater commercial value through profit maximization and delivering unmatched quality products to the consumers. This will promote positive social relations and create commodity influence on the society delivering social utility by using the digital mass media platforms. The efficient labour force is the foundations of having sheer society relations which can be profoundly influenced by the mass media making the predictions go global. The Marx labour theory of value of a commodity is equal to the value of the labour remains consumed in its manufacturing process and mass media helps to make resources to have faster consumption (Hirst, 2014).
Evaluate Media as both Base and superstructure
Mass media includes business operation and establishes new values and concepts base which signifies economic stability of production. The concept of Superstructure denotes the aligned civil society based on cultures, ideology in the business world managed and controlled by the mass media influencing to render improved consumption experiences.

As suggested by (Volchanska, 2019), mass media help to identify the element structure of dominance based on political, economic or social and makes them to understand their own potentiality to mitigate the existing challenges or having adaptations to mass media digital change. This focuses on use of the mass media to gain extreme competition and individual performance of the entrepreneurs and labour forces promoting hegemonic success. Hegemony does not promote creating fixed relationships in terms of mass media utilisation, on the contrary, Hegemony works with ideologies having contradictory directions leading to consensus and dominant controversies for understanding mass media.
The communicative process through the new format of digital mass media helps the corporate managers to have smooth international operations, meeting up changing market needs and knowing the changing purchasing trends of the consumers leading better control of the value chain production, distribution, marketing and consumption. As suggested by (Vorraber, 2019), this leads to globalised development of the economic structures and to reach the world society through the desired products as well as services having competitive prices. The mass media of communicative approach will create surplus value and better resources performance for the consumers of the society having diversified cultural and ideology.

- To establish bonded social relations within the business fields resulting enhance production performance through adaptation to technology.
Define technology and its influence in Society
Technology is the development of virtual realities and sensory devices that promotes the users to gain real time experiences to experience a better living and a transformed business world. Productive processes of the technological action (Jenzen, 2020)course through advanced technical tools to yield practical solutions instantly about any complex situations. As opined by (Lee, 2021), the technologically advanced mass media tools like the digital newspaper, internet, websites having commercial agenda including the convergence of human thought process, resources allocation, experimentation and informative knowledge exchanges. This sort of technological advance mass media tools leads to a sound social environment having better ownership and control for achieving futuristic goals. The process of having adaptations is a complex scenario to the latest mass media technology system in order to gain new ways of doing things as the society is hesitant to embrace change after successive generations having orthodox historical knowledge. The influence of technological knowledge involvement in mass media promotes sound production performance leading to creation of distinctive products whio are capable to meet the changing demands as well as the needs of the global consumers. This will promote better interactions and exchange of informative databases helping the society to gain benefits based on user friendly technological instruments like washing machines or PCs changing the social life.
Distinction between technology and convergence
The involvement of technological innovations is mostly considered as a threat for the labourers to get replaced or will reduce their efficiency. In the beginning of the 19th century, the workers of the textile industry of the UK had realised identical threats and the Luddite Movement had started to dismantle technological implications resulting in destroying latest machines and burning factories().The technological advancement in the mass media is bounded to specific production mode focuses in particular society making the technological attributes biased creating conflicts, disruption and contradictions. As suggested by (Jenzen, 2020), the entire social circumstances gets interchanged with technological influence of mass media which impacts society depending on its course of action plans. The technological convergences in the era of digital performance initialise varied use of digital social mass media which showcases (Nurhayati, 2019)the distinctive society people use to follow up their needs. Technological convergence and diversification of the mass media network is continual based on telecommunication usage, broadcasting and computing system based on electronic mass media. The technological aspects of each mass media tool is regulated through a systematic chip matrix executing convergence adding technical values of the object based on its transformed potential quality services.

The public notices of the payments and the conditions of mortal forgiveness were granted by the Church through the printed media of 200 copies termed as Gutenberg bible. The entire printing operation has imparted instant social influence in the European social and cultural background making criticising printing content as lawful penalty.

As per the views of (Nurhayati, 2019), this has depicted that radical press aroused criticism and mobilised against the social relations on which the commercial aspects depend highly. The freedom of the Print media introduces dominant liberal democratic theory that makes media work a Watchdog to regulate the proper implementation of powers of the state for benefiting the society.
Development of copyright
The commercial development of the press put emphasis on the commodification of the valued printed word establishing propped distinction based on private and public ownership delivering positive social qualities of authenticity.
