iNEED NEWS NOW!

If only there was one extra hour in every day. Why can't we ever accomplish everything in one day? The truth is there isn't enough time in a day.

America's on the move. We thrive on busy lives. If you have extra time on your hands, then let's be honest- you've got an unhealthy problem.

With the invention of personal electronic devices like iPhones, we now have a companion to help set the pace for our busy lives.

According to the Pew Internet and American Life Project, 24% of people DON'T use their cell phones to perform Internet searches but would like to. As the need for these electronic devices grows, so do the expectations. Before we know it, you will be able to use your electronic device to purchase things, lock your front door and probably even scratch your back. Oh wait, these things are already in the makes (well, hopefully not that last one).

The average Internet user spends less than one minute on each internet page. Web pages have to be extremely eye catching to make someone want to spend even a minute of their life on it. But first of all, let's think about these iPhone features. The screen is the size of your palm. So surfing the net is even more difficult than the average computer. But we rely on these little devices to be available anytime, anywhere.

This only adds pressure to, say, the online news business. The Internet already made the business more quick-paced with constant updates. Now these little iPhones are going to require the online news business to work like speed demons. If the Internet is available anytime and anywhere, and the average user spends less time on each page, then online news needs to find ways to not only update their information quicker, but present it in an easy way where you can read all you need on that teeny screen.

With the world in your hands (almost literally), online news needs to react and adapt. So get moving, and fast. Because in the time it took you to read this blog, the average Internet user would have visited about three Web sites already (or maybe is still trying to zoom in and out to read the news on their iPhone).
