It is so much better then before - Enigin
In my last post I left you to decide if the new media world is the best for us. Well I have been thinking and my feelings is that it definately has to be.
How can it truly be a debate. We know what is going on around the world, constantly if we wanted to.
I lost my mobile phone two weeks ago - and have literally been lost and alone without it. Problems of contacting people when meeting up with them, letting people know your ok, asking people of they are ok - has been impossible. Ok so many would say it is not impossible, do it the old fashioned way - if I am allowed to call it that. Just pick up the phone! Well all my contacts were on my mobile - maybe a bit stupid - but too late now.
And the news? I was away last week, staying in a caravan, with only 5 channels on the television. No Sky news, no BBC news, so now 24 hour news. It was annoying. I came home and felt a bit out of the loop. Not having been able to just quickly stick one of those channels on in the morning and check what had happened in the world while I had been sleeping, was bizarre and strange.
Ok so there probably is a debate issue here. But definitely on the surface, the majority of the time - media and technology today makes life a lot easier.
