You Are Your Own News Anchor

Easy accessibility and an opportunity to use various portals as citizen media portals can allow ordinary citizens to become broadcasters and distributors of information.  What can be problematic is when people don't check the validity of a source that is coming from an amateur or even sometimes a big network such as CNN.

The reason why more people are diverging away from big media corporations and more towards participatory and citizen media is because we either don't have the time, the patience or the will to read or watch anything that is not compact, instant, already conceptualized or easily accessible. Could that mean that the  internet is making us lazy?

It makes me wonder who is responsible for that? Who or what made us get that way? I have a theory that it's a combination of several things. We have technology , especially portable technology such as cellphones, tablets even lap tops do all the searching and researching for us. The computer changed the way we wright but internet changed the way we seek information and  think.Those digital gadgets have changed our level of patience and research. I don't know if it's appropriate for us to blame technology or any other factor since we are the ones that decide how to utilize it and for what purpose.
