News

When I started to think about where I got most of my news, there were so many places that I have received news in the past few days that I was kind of astounded.  I check twitter every day and I get a lot of sports news from there.  I learned about Rajon Rondo’s torn ACL from twitter and I also learned the Minnesota Wild lost last night 3-1 against the Anaheim Ducks.  I also get a lot of my news on my iPhone.  I have a CNN app that will notify me with breaking news and if I find that interesting I will go onto my tablet and read up on the story on my New York Times app.  I used to watch the news on television every morning in high school but I really don’t have time to watch television anymore because I am more focus on getting sleep in the mornings and doing homework at night.  Every once in a while I will hear a snippet of information from another person but I will always back it up by checking my iPhone to see if that news is actually true or not.  The more that I have thought about the way that I receive news kind of makes me wish that I had the time to sit down with a nice hot cup of coffee and read the paper every morning.  I have heard that people say kids in our generation should read the paper rather than get all of their information online but I think that growing up with phones that allow us to stay connected more easily than ever before is a good thing.  We are much more informed than we ever have been and I doubt that my parents sat around and read the paper every morning when they were kids.
