2009 is drawing to a close and we will soon be forced to say goodbye to the noughties. For me it has been the most memorable of all decades (due to the fact that I have been above the age of eight and so can retain the likes of 'memories'). We have seen a black President be elected in the United States, music and the charts have been taken over by Sir Simon Cowell (I salute you), the 'King of Pop', Michael Jackson tragically passed away, we witnessed the moment Susan Boyle shocked the nation with her beautiful voice and unruly eyebrows, we said farewell to Harry Potter, and most devestatingly of all; Katie Price and Peter Andre split up.
The media has developed over the last ten years like a woman after 90 boob jobs. The internet with social networking sites has become more advanced than we could have anticipated. With the likes of Twitter captivating the country, we can read updates and statements from our favourite celebrities or public figues with just a tap of our iPhone. Straight from the horses mouth (no offence intended).
With the internet offering us newspaper/magazine websites, email updates, and Twitter we have instant access to any news or gossip the media would like to throw at us. Because of this, the media has become ever more powerful in todays society and the lives of not only mainstream celebrities but politicians and such are under constant scrutiny.
So where will we be in 10 years time? Perhaps reading things like this off a screen in the palm of our hand whilst our speech-sensitive kitchen knocks us up a cheese toastie.
We can be certain that Simon Cowell will have taken over the world, we will be referring to Ms Cole as 'Dame Cheryl', Jedward will be presenting the Ten O'clock News, and Joe McElderry... sorry who?
My news years resolution is to learn about topics a little more substantial than the X Factor and 'Ooh, aren't R-Pattz and Zac Efron looking H.O.T'.
It that case I will start planning blog posts on the relevant and topical issues of; '[Insert Celebrity name] could do with a burger!' and 'Vanessa Hudgens is a bitch'.
Happy New Year!
