When I was young, my parents are usually the way for me to get the new about the world out there. Obviously, I was too young to read the newspaper and watch the news. My parents would tell me ‘ do not talk with strangers or even follow them if they ask you to follow them and claims that they are your parents friend’. Other than that, my parents would also tell me do not accept food from strangers’ . I was too young to understand the reason why. But, now I understand. The world out there is not safe . strangers can lie to us. Meanwhile, the next source of information I get is from school. Every school has a bulletin board where students can get information and it is usually updated weekly. Besides that, I also get news from my friends, but depends on whether the news is interesting or not.
When I was 10 years old, I lived with my grandparents in their house. One day, it was already midnight, and my uncle dashed into my room and wake us up. He was watching CNN on the living room, and he said that the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City was crashed by two airlines, killing many people. It was live on CNN. Because of that news , It gave me an impact. I was afraid that it would happen to us here in KL. On the other hand, another major news came up.
on the 24th of December 2004, tsunami hits Indonesia. But Penang was affected as well. I had a silly thinking that KL will be hit by Tsunami as well. But of cause, now it’s different. Radio is also one of the technology where I get the news . they usually announce news about local and also international. Other than that, there are also sports. But now in the 21st century, everyone gets to read the news through the internet, like I do. It is so convenient for me , I can read the news anytime and everytime just for free. Sometimes, when I was busy, I would receive the news through instant text message. The news I received daily actually keeps me constantly update about the world out there. No matter local news or news from the other country. It help me to be alert and know that there are many crimes that is happening without us knowing .
