In the current day the internet is flooded with information, which is usually correct, sometimes incorrect and other times completely useless! Traditionally, books, journals, and school/college have been enough to enlighten ourselves about issues at hand. However, the internet is, and always will be, a magic knowledge box. No print media can ever cover the immediacy and the interactivity that the internet offers. You no longer have to wait for the newspaper in the morning to find out what’s going on in the world.
The existence of new media and online resources has made message distribution extremely interactive through podcasts, RSS feeds, social networks, text messaging, blogs, wikis, etc. The world of a student is virtual now.
Even though there’s a lot going on in almost every sector of the society, the internet is now able to target niche audiences such as nurses. The smaller the targeted group; the greater the penetration of information.
