    Internet Credibility

    I work in an industry filled with people who claim “the internet was the worst thing to happen to the second oldest industry”. This people are not dumb by any stretch of the imagination they all have well over 30 years’ experience and have been in the trenches. This men and woman are veterans in their own right and have been credited for helping pave the way for all the new gladiators of our profession. So, why would intelligent hard working people claim the internet, one of the most powerful and useful media is not for them? The answer is simple, fear of the unknown, but to these naysayers, I say “I am a speeding train, you are either onboard or you are lying on the tracts, either I am coming through.”…

    Political Extremism and the Internet

    Voters tend to have somewhat conflicting views on the use of the internet for political purposes. Most believe that the internet has the ability to present several different views on a particular issue, yet others believe it is hard to sort through all of the different sources (Smith). Some see it as a hindrance to the political process because of the way that inaccurate information seems to circulate freely (Smith).
