Whilst I agree that in some cases logging on to the Internet and obtaining
informatioon is a somewhat tedious task for many users . The real difference
is in being able to turn around and say "Hey this is accurate up to date
information ." , and being able to question the author and obtain much more
detail than is available through the newspaper by clicking a bunch of
buttons ( as opposed to writing a letter - finding those annoying stamps -
takinga trip out to the post office . . . ) .
