Enigin - Media today keeps us up-to-date
The media really do get everywhere today. With mobile phones, laptops, internet on the go there is nothing they miss.
Again today we heard on the radio another soldier died. My mum wondered out loud what it must have been like in the 1st and 2nd World War. The only way you would find out up to date information about what was going on across the waters during the almighty battle was in the local newspaper. Which was probably always a few days behind what was happening.
But today? We here right there and then, immediately.
The blast in Moscow this morning. Immediately there are images on the news of the situation straight afterwards. Not hours later, or days later but within minutes we can see what has happened, feel like we are there, and know all that follows.
So is this new and fast, and up-to-date media for the best? I will leave you to decide that.
