The Influence of the Internet on Daily Life

The Internet is now a massive part of everyday life. Whether it's getting the latest news and weather updates or chatting with with friends on sites like Facebook. The Internet now effects almost everyone's day to day life . In work places the Internet is used to send files or give briefs , this has speed up dramatically how fast work gets done . And socially it keeps people in touch with old friends who the possibly wouldn't here from otherwise.
Like all advances in technology , the Internet is useful but often becomes the subject of criticism . Social network sites have come under fire due to the fact that as much as they bring people together , they also push them apart . I mean its far more fun to go any meet friends rather than sit at home and speak to them online .
The Internet has also revolutionized the way we learn. You can find information on almost any topic online with out the need to search through library books. Saying that you'd probably learn a lot more actually reading the books then simply searching wikipedia .
Not matter what your opinion may be , the Internet is now a massive part of our lives and with it out things would probably be much different .

The recent figures show Chris notched up Moyles notched up an audience of 7.7m people, compared with Wogan's 7.78m listeners . The figures also show that radio listening in general is at the honestest its been in the past 10 years.

The BBC has a incredible amount of people tuning in . A recorded 46million listeners tuned in the first quater ogf 2009 . Thats 90% of all UK adults .

At least some tax money is being used for something the public actually give a damn about !

Another northerner is fired !


Phil Taylor ,a 29 year old from county Durham was the sixth contestant to be booted of the hit BBC show The Apprentice . The cocky Northerner got the boot after not making a single sale on the task. After the brash estate agent wound up in the final three, Sir Alan decided to fire him ahead of 27-year-old Walsh and 36-year-old Lorraine Tighe.

Through out the show Phil was known as being sure off him self and opinionated , but Sir Alan decided he'd had enough , claiming some one like Phil wouldn't fit in to his organization.

To added to this Lorraine raised the issue of Phil's flirtatious relationship with fellow contestant Kate Walsh claiming it was distracted him from the task in hand .

To be honest I'm a bit gutted about Phil getting the boot . His rants , flirting and lets not forget 'Pants Man' kept the show entertaining !
