Why the term "Frankenstein Monster"?

Why not use Media - A Web of Lies and Deceptions ?

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein exposes the dark side of brilliance. Our most original and powerful creations, left unchecked by morality and responsibility, can become enormously destructive. Genius without maturity can lead to disaster. Victor Frankenstein learns to harness some of the most mysterious forces in the universe -- he is, as the novel's subtitle suggests, the Modern Prometheus -- but he never ponders or learns to control the dangerous implications of his own creativity, and the result is disastrous for him and for those about whom he most cares.

Enthralled by what he can do, Frankenstein never pauses to ask what he should do


Like our media, I believe, are in danger of becoming the Frankenstein's monster of our historical moment. Brilliant people have created powerful tools that allow us to do things unimagined even a decade ago, yet it is fair to ask whether those tools have done more harm than good and whether they are being wielded with a sense of responsibility. Have we ushered in the start of a new and better age, or have we through our own genius created forces whose destructive power is leaving us diminished and less prepared to make wise decisions?

We seem caught up in the creative frenzy of Victor Frankenstein, whose "discovery was so great and overwhelming that all the steps by which I had been progressively led to it were obliterated, and I beheld only the result."
Here are some things that I think our present condition has left diminished.
Privacy, Honesty,Civility,Truth. In Pre-media world these qualities were abundant. But now they seem like a pipe dream.

Media was supposed to make lives easier but it is making it hard especially if you happen to be a celebrity. Recent Imran, Reham divorce, which saw media falling to one of its lowest points, is an example. They played songs and discussed every aspect of their marriage life like suddenly all problems had vanished from Pakistan.

I hope this is enough. I wanted to write more but this should suffice to help you understand.
