Blog 2 in Unit 2

The biggest similarity is that our main source of news is Internet. Though someone still has the habit reading newspaper or watch TV, almost everyone is custom to read news on Internet. I suddenly find that though we still read BBC news report, and New York Times, we don’t read them on the real paper media anymore. It shows that they transform their form very successfully. “Newspaper” has never been disappeared in our lives; they just also update to follow the new modern life. Like Carr said, the information on the Intern is first hand.  They are fresher than others. But if we think the idea of Sullivan and Carr, we will find some problems. From my experience, when I read real newspaper, I always share it with my friends, and we read it together. We chat about it so that we can get different thinking on one news, which always lead us to think deeply about the world. We have less chance to do it if we read news on Internet. Because the amount of the information, we always don’t read the same one. And the worse thing is that I feel I can easily forget what I have already read on the Internet.  

The biggest difference between my classmates and me is that they seemly pay more attention to the news; they always talk about them, which I don’t always do. For most of time, I would like to read some anecdotes rather than the political or military news. Actually I have to say, the reason why I read BBC news or New York Times before is just to practice reading skills, and now I read them because I want to get to know more about America and the whole word. So I think the feeling about the news must be very different.
