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
- incautious
- waste time
(ii)Television
- watching television to much can influence bad culture
- became bad fanatic like social lifesyle,fashion,emo,grunge,and broken language.
(iii)Magazine

(iv) Telephone
- waste a many time and money example messaging, useless picture and manymore.
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.

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.

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
