Every week we get some interesting news-items. I just read the headlines. I usually read the headlines in newspapers, too. I don’t trust journalists because even the good ones present mostly one side of the story, are biased, and most aren't even serious, just attempt to sell a morbid, scandalous or strange aspect of the “truth”.
That was my reaction to swine influenza. It is probably coming; but I also believe those who say that it’s a great business opportunity for medical companies.
What I thought very interesting, and has a direct link to what we are studying is a headline on Yahoo! about kids that make so much money with games that they can have even enough for their college founds. Now, that, I found interesting enough to go back and read it sometime later today. Although the questions it raises have to do more with psychology: how will this affect his/her attitude towards learning? Or sociology: identity and life values in general.
(And a thought in parenthesis: if I don't manage to read today's story; will I miss out on something? Probably. But how important is that? The older I get the more I realise how much I am missing of the world- news. When I was younger, because of my work I needed to know what was happening in the world. Today I sadly realize that it doesn't matter that much if I do know or if I don't .)
