It’s so fascinating how much the world has changed in such a short time. The next big news story can radically affect our lives, both inside and outside of the office. It makes it even more important to be informed and up-to-date with what’s going on in today’s ever-changing world of technology, design, and business trends. Here are some of my thoughts on the latest news that will help you be aware of what’s happening in the world of work.
The news is shocking
Cancer has been cured. With a simple DNA test and an injection, doctors are able to eradicate cancer in any form. However, it comes at a cost: The injection turns your skin blue, and you need to stay in captivity for 72 hours while all of your bodily fluids are filtered out through IVs. If anything is out of place or mixed up, another treatment must be administered immediately. And all of these treatments can only be done in one facility that’s surrounded by barbed wire fences with guards who carry machine guns. The government says that it’s for our own good—that without these precautions we might contract disease ourselves from unknowingly being near someone who was previously sick.
Here are all my thoughts about this news
I’m going to say that we should all just be aware of how large these news events can be in terms of our own lives. I’ve been through a lot over the past month, and I don’t think anything is big enough to compare to my ordeal, but it does make me wonder if anyone will care about my life or my death when I go, which is kind of disheartening. Then again, maybe that’s what makes it so great! It’s almost like a constant reminder of who you are as a person because no one else was there for it. When you think about your existence like that, things start to fall into place and you have greater respect for yourself and other people because everyone’s life matters.
The good
Many of us feel overwhelmed by what feels like daily breaking news about every new update and development with Donald Trump’s presidency. It’s hard to keep up and even harder to know what is true and what isn’t. This latest update, however, has many worried that something terrible is going to happen very soon. For example, I’m sure you’ve heard about Russian interference with our presidential election. Now, an email just released suggests it could have been more widespread than we realized—and it may still be happening as we speak! How can we stop something like that? That’s a question we need answers to right away before things get even worse!
The bad
The latest news regarding X, Y and Z isn’t good. There are so many implications of what is happening that it is hard to see a solution. However, I have confidence that positive things will come out of all of it in some way or another. After all, there has been so much negativity that maybe something good is trying to balance it out. When you consider everything, these changes are actually making things better in some ways, even if they are taking time to do so. At least we know why certain things were happening or have been revealed now so we can make informed decisions about how we deal with them going forward and plan accordingly.
And the ugly
government officials. I can’t tell you how sick and tired I am of seeing government officials lie to us about terrorism, drugs, guns and blah blah blah. It’s a never-ending parade of official sources that supposedly have no ulterior motives or agendas, who will tell us anything we want to hear to protect their precious jobs—all while behind closed doors they’re laughing at how stupid we are for believing their lies. It makes me wonder: did we ever really gain any ground in Vietnam? It’s now clear that we’re not any safer from terrorism because of these (and countless other) fake stories—but it also begs an even more important question: are we really safer from our own government? When will it be enough already?
What do you think?
Before you comment, consider something for a moment: These thoughts about what’s going on with X are coming from someone who has more information than you do. That doesn’t mean they know everything about what’s going on; it just means that they have access to more information than you do and have come to their own conclusions based off of it. This is an exercise in accepting that people may know things you don’t, especially when dealing with breaking news. Before you hit send and click post comment, take a second and ask yourself if there might be some merit to another person’s perspective even if it differs from your own.
Here’s what i have to say about it…
First, I want to take a moment to commend news companies for their hard work. They have been working diligently to find stories that will resonate with readers, and they are finally finding those stories. It’s amazing that they have been able to keep up with all of these different changes in technology and customer tastes over time. I imagine it would be very difficult for any other group in another industry to make such a drastic shift if they had to face all of these unique challenges! I am excited about what is coming next from news organizations…who knows what it might be? Only time will tell! I’ll just have to wait and see what happens next! Best wishes as you continue on your search for great content that resonates with customers at just the right time.
