I like how you said you’re selective about the news you read. A big problem for me is that there is just too much news out there, especially today in our super-connected world. Its information overload.

Maybe I’ll try narrowing down my news intake through RSS feeds and see how that works. I just have to give up the 24-hour network news – that’s the real creativity killer!

For example, I follow somewhere around twenty sites that report on Southeast Asian politics. I’m always trying to figure out what’s really going on, since each article has a different perspective of the same issues.

I also blog about the trends I see at http://www.ilovethailand.org/user/bailish/blogs. By keeping it organized, I hope to turn this into a story one day. (More like one year, but who’s counting?)

My point of all this is that we are much more in control of the type of news we can follow these days than in the days before Internet. If we want to follow only uplifting news, then we can decide to do that. The news services of our parents are going the ways of the dinosaurs, those oversized beasts that didn’t realize they had no control over their environment.
