These days, the internet has become the preferred source of news/information about the world. The very access that it gives to anybody who has an internet connection can lead to both good and bad. As much as getting daily information about the world helps us stay connected, but in this digital age, when we are constantly receiving some or the other sort of stimulation, is this really healthy? The newspaper or the radio have not necessarily become redundant but the reach and time sensitivity that the internet caters to is unmatched and that is what makes it the preferred choice.
