Will choice be extended by cable
An article by Gareth Locksley in the June 1983 issue of Telecommunications Policy argued that a major benefit of cable TV for the UK viewer would be increased choice. In this response, Richard Collins questions wheather real choice will be extended by cable and examines the syllogism put forward by Locksley: cable = competition = efficiency = progress.
Cable as choice
The major benefit that cable TV has to offer the UK customer is choice. The question is: should choice be limited in any way? Vested interests in the television and film industry are pressing for restrictions on two 'no go' areas-live sport and first release films. Gareth Locksley argues that there is no case for restrictions, and that choice will benefit the television and film industries and the consumer.
Relationship between level of internet addiction and time management skills among nursing students.
PURPOSE
This study investigated nursing students' levels of internet addiction (IA) and time management (TM) skills.


DESIGN AND METHODS
This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with 400 nursing students of a university in Turkey. The data were collected using the Personal Information Form, IA Scale, and TM Inventory.


FINDINGS
The IA scale and TM inventory mean scores were 40.83 ± 14.81 and 81.34 ± 11.91, respectively. A significantly negative relationship between students' level of IA and TM skills was found (p <0.05).


PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS
The concept of effective time management should be used in interventions for promoting students' conscious internet use.
