Nowadays our modern life is full of mass media. Normally, our day always begins with a newspaper, a print paper, delivered to us with our morning cup of tea or coffee. Some of us switch on the radio or TV while getting ready for the day. Many try to look for the daily news on their smart phones with some cigarettes. Others stop to buy some newspaper on the way to work because they want to read whenever they can. Some are at office work, using their computers to surf the internet and search the information they like. So, I wonder if there is no means of the media for our life, how will we become? And that’s the reason why we need the latest daily news around the world. To me, as we are lucky to live in a modern hi-technic world, we easily contact anyone else through the internet. Actually, we can work at home after work or while going outside, we’re able to manage to check and reply our e-mails like we used to see our mail boxes.
