Welcome! Brief Summary About Us!

     The main focus of my blog is to look into the sheer speed at which news, poll results, and rumors are spread on social media has altered politics. Unlike in the days before the internet, when people had to wait for the next newspaper or TV news broadcast to acquire the latest news, Internet news is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  This has been taken a step further by social media. While news is available at any time on numerous websites, most individuals spend more time on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter than on serious news or political websites. This means that anytime you log in, you'll see all of the most recent hot news items and comments posted by your friends.

You're certain you'll be late to work.  But hold on a second.  You are on time. Daylight Saving Time is now in effect.  Clocks throughout the globe go forward or backward an hour twice a year, depending on the year.  But why bother?
