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.

I’ve got this strange friend; her name is Maria. Maria’s always been a little weird but now things have gotten unworldly altogether. You see, Maria’s an artist; she’s into sculpture in particular, of which she specializes in manipulation of Perspex with a blowtorch. Lately I haven’t seen too much of her as she’s hooked up Internet. Actually not many people at all have seen her recently; she says she’s working on a big project.

Now that she’s got Internet she reckons she can focus a lot more on her work without distractions. She doesn’t ‘waste’ time doing grocery shopping anymore. Now she orders all her food and household items. She says if she’s extremely busy, her weekly list is saved into computer, and she just clicks on ‘order’ and usual stuff is delivered to her door every week. No more driving, parking, searching for stuff, standing in line, dealing with bored and under slept cashiers. I’m starting to think it’s not such a bad idea. Maria is pretty proud. She’s now organizing for a local greengrocer to deliver her fruit and vegetables too.
