World News?
In a world filled with sound bites and paparazzi-snapped photos, there are still storytellers determined to create media with meaning.
How many of today's headlines will matter in 100 years? 1000?
Last week, the case that Pistorius was prosecuted of killing his girlfriend before V's day became the top news for consecutively 7 days in BBC world news. Sarcastic.
Sure, the web connects the globe, but most of us end up hearing mainly from people just like ourselves.
The Internet is a great invention of human. The information is easily accessible. We can find information quickly – needs only to open a browser, to feed data into a string and to click “find”.
The Internet does not reduce the distance between different points.
Facebook, Twitter are popular websites in the world, Vkontakte, Odnoklassniki are popular in Russia. There are they communicate, to discuss hot news, to find new friends, to listen music, to play games, to buy goods, to appoint the meeting… I believe social networks are a good place for freedom of speech, because social networks do not have a strict censorship and everybody can write that he thinks.
