T.V. and radio News got you down? On-line current events and News blogs make being informed a much more enjoyable experience. For many News on television has become a trying time of day. Focused mainly on negative events, you may have to wait through whole program just to hear one story you were waiting for. If you miss 6:00 p.m. show, waiting until late night segment can be a real drag, especially if you’ve got a lot to do, or have to wake up early next morning.

My friends, there is an answer to this problem: News blogs or on-line current events. You can find all of your favorite broadcasters (E.g.: CNN, BBC) on Internet, getting up-to-date information at any time of day or night. You can even read personal journal entries written by multiple correspondents out in field reporting on several different stories down to current minute. Instead of hearing all News from one voice (often an irritating one), now you can read different human opinions straight from scene of interest.

Often News on-line has a section called “themes” which allows reader to only hear about specific areas that interest them. No more waiting through several wars to get to positive story about current medical breakthrough that could mean a cure for disease, or technological idea that might mean end to extreme pollution levels. Like a newspaper, you can go straight to “jobs” theme and search through all current employment vacancies available. If you are obsessed with negative, themes such as “Disaster and Tragedy” and “Crime and Punishment are still readily accessible.

How do we keep Internet communication simple? Let's start by taking a look at different methods used to communicate on web. It is important to understand nuances and benefits of different forms.

Email This is most popular communication method. Users typically use desktop software to receive, read and respond to messages. Some users use web-based mail and manage messages in a web browser like Internet Explorer. The downfall to email communication is that anyone can send email messages to anyone else if they have (or guess) correct email address. This system's Achilles heel is its simplicity and universal popularity.

Email accounts are often burdened by spam or unsolicited email. Despite software developers having created complex spam filters and legislators having introduced new anti-spam legislation, problem persists and spam continues to burden email as a messaging medium.

Instant Messaging Instant messaging allows users to "chat" in real time. Users can send text messages to anyone online and receive instant replies if user is also online. The "instant" fad gave way to parental fears as children made "friends" online. With no way to confirm if "friends" are who they represent themselves to be, and multiple security holes, instant messaging has taken a back seat in internet communication.
