MUSIC STREAMING BECAME A BILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY
-  Revenues from streaming songs on the internet has passed $1bn for the first time, new figures have shown.
Digital downloads of songs continued to fall out of favour in the first half of the year, while free and paid music-streaming revenue kept growing, even 
The rise of digital streaming has helped the industry maintain annual revenues of around $7bn since 2010,
Certain rates for Internet radio are set by government bodies.

Personally I think that the music industry is booming for streaming, Also the convenience for streaming makes more popular for users.This is because there are streaming apps that are available to download on smart phones in which a lot of people have.


Facebook working a dislike button

1.5bn users will soon be able to vent their anger in a new way after the social network revealed its working on dislike button
- 4.5 billion likes are generated everyday from pop sensation shakira
- She is also the most popular on the social media website
- dislike button has been rumoured for a long time
- current like button is criticised as they use it to collect data
- Facebook are planning to remove pages with fake likes.

In my opinion Facebook shouldn't ass a dislike button as many people might be discouraged and might think about insecurities which will increase cyber bullying and other things that can be very bad for society.
