New Old News

As you all can see, I am back again in the game of blogging. Instead of signing on in off, it is probably a good idea to think that I will be doing this for another three or so months, so sit back and get comfortable… Well on today’s post, news is the big topic. How do people get their news and how does it spread? Personally of course, with no big surprise, the Internet is probably the biggest source that allows me to obtain the daily, weekly, and urgent news of the world. I am capable of learning about any number of topics within seconds, where as other forms like newspapers, books, television, and people, all have boundaries on what they can tell me. However, on the other hand, if I am looking for personal information, then a person is probably my best bet, due to the fact that the Internet has a rather extensive wall on what they know personally about people and their lives. But for the most part then, the Internet and people are most likely my biggest contributors to my daily life on how I hear about news. However, in a close third place would be the Television. Even though I rarely watch TV, it still allows me to obtain the most recent and important news, where on the Internet I have to search for it since the Internet has such an extensive folder of info. The TV as well automatically puts my material into categories by channels, which helps lower the time it takes for me to find out things that are needed.
Nevertheless, there is a big difference in what is my most used source and what is my most preferred. I use the Internet the most, but that is kind of not controlled by me. Since I now live in the technology era, it is kind of hard to stray away from what is easily accessible and used. If I was allowed an easier choice, then the person wins my vote. With people, talks mean more and matter more to me in the end. You figure out something about someone after you talk to him or her, you take what he or she say to you and gather and put it into a thought. Then you interpret it and analyze it to make since into your own. This process is a much more interesting and fun thing to do, instead of pushing keys and clicking a mouse and simply reading a screen that has words on it just because of binary code, or some sort of code close to it. It seems too superficial and not real. People need to keep their roots in what society has always knows, talking to one another to gain information, and I truly try to live this way.
