Remember when broadcast media were able to claim the “breaking news” high ground over newspapers? Because, you know, papers only come out once a day while broadcast outlets offer more immediate coverage. Well look at this from the SJ-R online:
Don't wait around for radio or TV to tell you how your favorite prep football team fared on the field tonight.Yes, there’s no need to “wait around” for those slow-poke radio and TV signals! Hell, get on the ‘net and read all about it -NOW.
Our football scores and standings page will be updated frequently tonight as final scores roll in from throughout central Illinois. Click on "Sports" and then "Prep Football" to get to the page.
I’m mostly just having fun with this but you have to admit the internet has turned the world on its head more than anyone could have imagined 20 years ago. No, 9/11 didn’t change everything (or much of anything really) but the internet sure did. Perhaps we should commemorate it once a year too. I say make 10/01 (or some other binary date) Internet Day. It should be a holiday and we could all stay home and surf the net.
