Everywhere you look these days, people are on their phones, tablets or computers. Some are talking, some are texting, and some are surfing the Web. It seems like people communicate with each other an social networks and by email more than they do in person.According to Dan Buettner, in his book Thrive, people should spend six to seven hours a day online probably doesn't have the same effect as socializing in person does.
In my opinion, reading the news online is better than reading a newspaper or watching the news on TV. One way that it is better is that readers can comment on articles that they read online. They can have conversations with other readers, and sometimes even with the writer. Also online articles provide links to additional information. For example, if an article mentions a name, the name is often linked to another article with more information about that person. Finally, online news articles can be updated if something changes during the day. For example, an online news site might post an article about a dangerous storm in the morning. If more information about the storm becomes later that day, it can be added to the article.
