Current Events

This question seems almost hard for me to answer. I’ve never thought back on a day and tried to pick up on where I learned all the new social news things throughout a day, but if I had to think back it would mainly seem that I pick it up from Facebook posts or news articles, and friend conversations with friends throughout my day.

Many people on Facebook are always posting about the newest things and what’s popular in the news; such as today I didn’t even have to watch the Super Bowl to know that the Giants won because of the hundreds of posts about it on Facebook.

Also when going throughout my day and talking to friends we have many conversations about the news and trade stories with each other to help catch up on daily life. These conversations seem to happen more often because just like writing this paper much of our college studies can be based around current events and trying to figure out what different kinds of ideas we can come up with that might help solve the problem.

Much of the reason I think I talk about current events is because of school or other popular ideas that take over Facebook. Current events don’t seem nearly as important as they used to, and maybe that is because with all the technologies everyone is become so overwhelmed with things they have to do in a day they can find the time to sit down and read the newspaper during the day as people possible once had more time to do so. We live in a time with many more distractions and may possible have more time to devote to other things, but I don’t think it necessarily means we don’t know what’s going on, but now we just have a faster way of figuring it out.
