Post no. 372
There used to be a time when the internet has not proliferate throughout the world.
Back in those times, the only source of info came through newspaper. And since internet wasnt within the arsenal of other numerous tools that our editor used to search for his daily stories, the info that we read were not exactly as updated as it is now.
As such.. there was little profiteering....
Nowadays..
Everytime an article like "Fishing industry suffers after Philippine ferry tragedy"..
its a signal to the rest of the world to sing the same story line and move in for the kill of the general population.
Among other things, it has happened for oil, wheat, rice, ducks, chickens, eggs.. everytime a calamity of sorts happens to something, someone would make a depressing comment to signal how hard life is....and the next moment, his fortune turns for the better.
So... has internet improve our lives?? I wouldnt know. But i know it has benefited several parties... i.e the newspaper's chief editor. =>
