Least and most intriguing media....

For me the least intriguing media is newspaper. Because of how the information is written and how it is presented. Even in the earlier times newspaper in the same, although nowadays there are more advertising then there ever was. Newspaper today is fading because of how easy you can get information with just one click away (internet).

The most intriguing media to me is the internet. Internet is so powerful, anyone can put just about anything out there. There are no restrictions, rules or guidance. As long as you are not threatening the government or doing some terrorist act. You can get information to just about anybody, that it is why a lot of people are being identity theft, people are committing some kind of sex act to minor and such. Parents be aware!!!

Positive aspect of the internet is making us aware of different cultures. Today, you can have a conversation with someone half way across the globe. You can look up different culture background, finding out recipes of that culture or whatever. Today, schools are using Epals (pen pals of different ethnicity).

I used to spend a lot of money on phone card to talk to my family back home (Philippines) but today I used email a lot. This saves me money, less writing, and they can access the email right away. Internet is a great tool, just be aware of what is out there.
