2006 Reflections, 2007 Predictions
For the most part in 2006, the world escaped Natures wrath, but people were far less kind to their neighbors. 2006 is scarred not by the winds and oceans but by political turmoil across the globe. The Middle East quagmire is the epitome of how wrong things can go, with the war in Lebanon, infighting in Palestine, Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and Iraq’s sectarian violence the deepest scars of 2006 were self inflicted with man being his own enemy. Of course, the Middle East is not alone with it’s own self-destruction. Genocide in Chad and Sudan show how truly intolerant the human race really is. North Korea’s impatience and nuclear activity have disrupted Asia. In fact, few areas of the world were left unscathed by man’s ambitions in 2006.
Again technology has brought the tragedies of war and the personal stories of families from the farthest corners of the earth, to the door steps of the west. Citizen journalism and Internet propagation has added a complex layer to the stories. The growth of YouTube, Blogs, Podcasting and RSS have personalized the media and given listeners and watchers a personal connection to the reports.
Technology has not only revolutionized news and how it is viewed, interactive technology is shaping the news.
