In communications medias, we have many technology example internet,television,telephone,magazine,and newspaper. But the media technologies have advantages and disadvantages. The advantages of internet is have brought people closer together and created new online communities example create a email,MSN,facebook, chatting and get a current issue from the outside. Like television, we can get a latest news about world, and manymore. Then, magazine can get a new knowledge example general knowledge, lifesyle, and entertainment. Same like newspaper, get a new news, entertainment,sports and manymore. Beside advantages, technologies also give negative impact in communities.
(i)Internet

so, all the technologies is depends on people to determine is a weather it good or not.

Contemporary distribution and survey
Africa
. Since the late 20th century these peoples have increasingly sought recognition of their rights as distinct indigenous peoples, in both national and international contexts.

Although the vast majority of African peoples can be considered to be indigenous in the sense that they have originated from that continent and middle and south east Asia, in practice identity as an "indigenous people" as per the term's modern application is more restrictive, and certainly not every African ethnic group claims identification under these terms.
Given the extensive and complicated history of human migration within Africa, being the "first peoples in a land" is not a necessary precondition for acceptance as an indigenous people. Rather, indigenous identity relates more to a set of characteristics and practices than priority of arrival.
The Americas
Indigenous peoples who maintain, or seek to maintain, traditional ways of life are found from the high Arctic north to the southern extremities of Tierra del Fuego.
A Choctaw Belle (1850)
All nations in North and South America have populations of indigenous peoples within their borders. In some countries (particularly Latin American), indigenous peoples form a sizable component of the overall national population—in Bolivia they account for an estimated 56%-70% of the total nation.
Asia
Ainu man, circa 1880. The Ainu are generally considered to be the Indigenous population of Japan.
The vast regions of Asia contain the majority of the world's present-day Indigenous populations, about 70% according to IWGIA figures.
Ainu people are an ethnic group indigenous to Hokkaidō, the Kuril Islands, and much of Sakhalin. As Japanese settlement expanded, the Ainu were pushed northward, until by the Meiji period they were confined by the government to a small area in Hokkaidō, in a manner similar to the placing of Native Americans on reservations.

MEGACITIES
A megacity is defined by the United Nations as a metropolitan area which has a total population of more than 10 million people. It is also can be a single metropolitan area or two or more metropolitan areas, which have grown to such an extent, that they now form one urban area.
In 2000, there were 18 megacities – conurbations such as Tokyo, New York City, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Mumbai, São Paulo, Karachi that had populations in excess of 10 million inhabitants. Greater Tokyo already has 35 million, which is greater than the entire population of Canada.
TOKYO, the largest megacity
THE HISTORY
In 1800, only 3% of the world's population lived in cities, a figure that has risen to 47% by the end of the twentieth century, by 2007, this had risen to 468 cities of more than one million. By 2025, according to the Far Eastern Economic Review, Asia alone will have at least 10 megacities, including Jakarta, Indonesia (24.9 million people), Dhaka, Bangladesh (26 million), Karachi, Pakistan (26.5 million), Shanghai (27 million) and Mumbai (33 million), Lagos, Nigeria has grown from 300,000 in 1950 to an estimated 15 million today, and the Nigerian government estimates that the city will have expanded to 25 million residents by 2015
Growth
For almost a thousand years, Rome was the largest, wealthiest, and most politically important city in Europe. Rome's population passed a million by the end of the 1st century BC.
In the 2000s, the largest megacity is the Greater Tokyo Area. The population of this urban agglomeration includes areas such as Yokohama and Kawasaki, and is estimated to be between 35 and 36 million.
Challenges
This has been caused by massive migration, both internal and transnational, into cities, which has caused growth rates of urban populations and spatial concentrations not seen before in history. These issues raise problems in the political, social, and economic arenas. These record-setting populations living in urban slums have little or no access to education, healthcare, or the urban economy

THE JAH HET CULTURE
Among the little known Orang Asli of Pahang there is is one notable tribe which are the Jah-Het people. Also notable for wood-carvings which embody their belief in spirits. Since the Jah-Het have no written records, everything is connected with their culture and daily life is expressed in carvings.
Jah-Het festivals follow the Muslim calendar and held accordingly to the moon. Jah-Het have festivals for agricultural occasions such as planting of crops or harvesting. A special festival, 'Hari Bes', is held in November for all the evil spirits. On this occasion, the oldest poyang uses different types of leaves which are put into a bowl of water and blesses by sprinkling it under and around the house as well as on to the people of each house. These procedure is repeated in all Jah-Het houses. 
In death, when the wife dies, the husband will prepare her for burial and also when a child die, the father will perform the rites. The body of the deceased is bathed and wrapped in cloth and kept overnight in the house with the mourners. On the next day, the burial will take place. No coffin is used, there is only the body which has been wrapped in cloth. After seven days of prayers in the house, there is a meal with the relatives, followed by the construction of a 'pyramid cone' shaped tomb. The guardian spirit is bes kubor. No offerings which have been taken to the grave should be taken back to the house. They are left at the grave.
So, these is the culture of Jah Het people during their past life. However in this modern era, many Jah-Het people forget their own culture because they think of it as outdated culture. Thats why it is significant for all races to know and remember their culture.

In music, Jah Het people have many type of music instruments such as buloh keluntong and galong board, siloy(a mouth-flute made from bamboo), mouth-harp, and drum. However, usually Jah-Het woman plays the buloh keluntong on galong board while the man is singing.
In birth, it is a belief that the 'soul' of the child first inhabits in the 'soul bird'. As soon as the husband learns that his wife has conceived, he has to trap the 'soul bird' for his wife to eat. If the pregnant woman does not eat the 'soul bird' during her early days of pregnancy, her child will either be born death or will die shortly after birth. If twins or triplets are born, they are welcomed by the people.
In marriage, bride and bridegroom must be from different ladang. The bridegroom goes to the bride's house. Both families assemble as witnesses. The relatives from both sides discuss the dowry the bridegroom has to pay the bride. Average amount is about one hundred to four hundred dollars. During the marriage ceremony, the bridegroom and bride will eat together from one plate of rice in front of both families. Once they have eaten from the same bowl, they are considered to be man and wife. However, divorces are quite common after a child has been born.
In death, when the wife dies, the husband will prepare her for burial and also when a child die, the father will perform the rites.
