I hardly ever use my file sharing program any more, it's just not worth the problems that using a P2P app could stir up in the UK.

I, like you, like to look at world news because, whether we like it or not, we are all affected by it. For example, our western economies are flat lining and that has a direct affect on savers and pensioners (like me).

Also, I was watching something on BBC's world news about what the US congress was talking about last Thursday, which was to urge the US government not to completely pull the US army out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Also, how the Secretary of Defence is going to make budget cuts without damaging US defence capabilities. All pretty dry but interesting stuff.

Personally, I would like the US economy to pull itself out of this "bankers-made" recession so that the other western economies can follow. However, the US has to put regulation, and regulators, in place so that the bankers never again hold the US/world economy to ransom.

I remember once when i didn't know anything about file sharing, asked a question about it once on a forum, was told to Google it. At the time i only use a hand held browser, and my son had control over the PC. so file Sharing never concern me. I have a laptop now to do more things then before, and a friend teach me how to make my threads better. I would like to be part of this forum for my news stories, no matter what the news is.

Well Crymomma

Using a computer as a "learning tool", rather than just a games machine, gets my vote.

You see, because of computers and the Internet politicians find it more difficult to tell us lies, even though they still try. We are also more in tune with what is happening in other parts of the world, so we no longer have to depend on biased news reporting.

In fact, all in all, we are better informed and so can be better voters come election time.
