I am a self-confessed News Junkie. I used to joke that I was afraid to go to sleep at night [I'm an insomniac] because I was afraid the world would end and I wouldn’t know it.
It used to be that I could satisfy my addiction with the 24 hour cable news channels and the CSPAN channels. These were hard enough on my family and the cause of more than a few uprisings. To appease my mutinous family I moved most of my news addiction to the internet, a natural progressions as I am also an unabashed netholic.
About two and half years ago I purchased my first smartphone with unlimited internet access and I could get a news “fix” at any moment in time as long as I stayed within my cellular data network’s reach. When I upgraded to the Apple iPhone staying “hooked in” became all the easier and I could look cool while doing it instead of just weirdly geekie.
Now I’ve discovered Twitter and Facebook and feeding my addiction has become a mainlining behavior. I no longer have to seek out breaking news…
it comes directly to me.
