Enigin and New Media

An article today in the Guardian highlights how new media is becoming important alongside the long term media such as TV, radio and press. The article discusses changes to take place with regard to advertising.

For a long time now businesses as well as the general public can go online and put advertising here there and everywhere, for anyone to see. Is this right?

Debate for Yourselves

By Madeleine Whittaker

Often at Enigin we will debate in our lunch time anything from our favourite food through to major world events, such as the Climate Change Conference in Cancun - COP16.

People enjoy a good debate don’t they. A good rant about something your passionate about can be very invigorating and enlivening. The word debate has many meanings and when mentioned to someone can create different reactions and feelings.

News Comes and Goes

Well that headline seems to have long passed - everyone got over the excitement of the Royal Wedding fairly quickly! I suppose it will all hype up again when it gets closer though. There are much more urgent things to think about now though as this season comes into full swing.

With the weather here in the UK, which we definately do not want to linger over in discussing, winter has come quick and hard, and we aren’t at all used to it. But, as I said, we do not want to linger on that tiresome subject which has been the main headlines of the country for over a week. Bored now!

Bells are ringing, Royally

Well the Royal Wedding of the century is currently headline news and well under way of being arranged, in case you didn’t already now. With the bells of Westminster Abbey ringing loud in the streets of London the young couple are already planning and arranging their billion pound party.

It is amazing what does get into the headlines today really. And it is changing on a daily basis. With the media hyping up this royal engagement and making a large deal about it, it makes me ask why is it such a big deal?

Are you self sacrificing?

Not a phrase used often today, self sacrifice. It isn’t a trait many people would think of among kind, moody, happy and perhaps friendly. Though it is an important one to consider and ask yourself, are YOU self sacrificing?

The definition is:

the Sacrifice of one’s personal interests or well-being for the sake of others or for a cause.

Finding the information you need

By Madelleine Whittaker

Do you make the most of the World Wide Web? I think many of us don’t fully realise or appreciate the benefits of using the internet to its potential.

In my life time the internet has been created, expanded and become a part of every day life for millions and millions of people. It has become a necessity for the majority and many would not know what to do without it.

Do you ever stop and wonder what it was really like before we had the internet and the array of information it provides? Obviously things worked out just fine but really stop and think about the change the internet has had on society, the world and the way we do things.
