  • The answer seems to be that they do. The National Literacy Trust found that social networking sites and blogs help students to develop more positive attitudes toward writing and to become more confident in their writing abilities.
  • 49 per cent of young people believe that writing is “boring.” However, students who use technology-based texts such as blogs have more positive attitudes toward writing. Whereas 60 per cent of bloggers say that they enjoy writing, only 40 per cent of non-bloggers find writing enjoyable.

  • will almost certainly be the largest storm to ever hit the East Coast, with a reach that extends some 450 miles beyond its core
  • “We’re looking at impact of greater than 50 to 60 million people,” said Louis Uccellini, head of environmental prediction for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). A drone strike couldn’t be better targeted to cause maximum damage than this storm
  • NOAA put the storm surge threat from Sandy at 5.7 on that 6 point scale—greater than any hurricane observed between 1969 and 2005, including Category 5 storms like Katrina and Andrew. NOAA’s National Hurricane Center says that “life-threatening storm surge flooding” is expected along the mid-Atlantic coast.

  • The sheer oddness of Sandy’s arrival begs the obvious question: Is climate change involved here?

    This article by Bryan Walsh was published before Hurricane Sandy made landfall. It looks at the scientific data from NOAA's Hurricane Research Centre. As Time is a publication read by a large number of people, as opposed to NOAA, this media outlet provided the general population with detailed storm information and why the storm should be taken seriously.

  • Social media in China is different than in other countries due to the special political situation and economic environment. China has social networks that are the equivalent of Facebook and Twitter, but in this country they are used in slightly different ways. “People in the U.S. use Twitter more like casual talking,” says Hanwen. “In China people use social media more to share formal news.”
