OBJECTIVE:

The world wide web can be used as a tool with which to research many topics. In particular, there is a large quantity of information available about current events, especially those relating to technological issues.

SUBJECTIVE:

You are lazy.

Seriously, do you really expect others to do this for you, when all the information is right at your fingertips?

Yeah, and don't forget to publish in eBook format. I'll buy a copy in eBook format, then use the program you wrote to crack it too.

Boy, that'll be fun!
