We are all infotainment addicts, and the internet is our main source of infotainment. TV is so last century and we are committed netizens. Free flow of quality information is the current revolution that is driving progress in the new world. Be it the Arab Revolutions currently shaking the Middle east, or the drive for the Right to information Act in India, the internet is our best friend in seeking to shake of the yoke of governments the world over. This is a list of 10 websites that keep me infotained on a daily basis. I hope you enjoy surfing these as much as I do. 

1. The New York Times – Americas most read daily needs no introduction. It is renowned for its journalistic authenticity. A collection of well researched articles updated almost every day. I quite enjoy their science and health section. Well researched and cutting edge. It is free to read on the internet. Unfortunately, they are planning to introduce a paywall from March. A sad day for the concept of free disbursement of information online. Though one must be prepared to pay for what one deems to be of value. They have a killer iPhone app too. I am addicted.

2. The New Yorker – This weekly critique of popular culture of New York in particular and the world in general was first published in the nineteen twenties. It was started off by a New York Times reporter and his wife and has entertained, or infotained generations of avid readers. It counts some well known personalities in its repertoire of regular columnists. Atul Gawande, the Boston Surgeon who has influenced health care policy in the US is a regular columnist. Malcolm Gladwell, the popular author also contributes regularly. Both Gawande and Gladwell have published books that comprise of collections of their essays written for the New Yorker. You can subscribe to the online version for around fifty dollars per annum. A bargain, if you ask me. The print subscription is more expensive, especially if you live outside the USA. The iPad app costs more.

3. The Economist – One of the more popular weekly periodicals. It has been around since the early nineteenth century. 1823 if memory serves me right. Though it calls itself a newspaper, it is printed on glossy paper like a magazine. It is a collection of current affair articles that deal with everything from politics to financial and economist trends. A yearly subscription costs around 300 dollars or so, but worthwhile I think. The iPhone and iPad apps are free for print subscribers.
