First response
 * Australia is connected to the world by things like the internet, world wide web, phone communications, wars in other country's, N.A.S.A (when people go to space) and even in sports. **


 * For the internet there is Facebook and twitter long or short range chats that can be done anywhere.It doesn't matter if you're in America or Paris the internet gives you things like Skype to talk visually overseas. **


 * With sport there is Fifa (Feefa) world cup, Euro (sports in Europe) sports and rugby. If your at home or actually driving a car you can watch again by the internet or TV. **

Response to internet and sport
 * Thanks for your response Gab :) **
 * We are connected to the world through communication by Facebook, twitter, msn, Skype, the world wide web and even on blogs. Our connection on Facebook is no different to our connection on twitter because we are connected to the same person. **
 * If you want to see the person in front of you Skype Does it. It records your voice and face to see the person you are communicating with. Msn is a online web chat system that lots of people use to communicate with others around the globe. **

 = Boy, 14, faces Bali jail over drug arrest = TOM ALLARD 07 Oct, 2011 12:26 AM A 14-YEAR-OLD boy allegedly caught with drugs in Bali is facing incarceration in Kerobokan prison, the home of Schapelle Corby, the Bali Nine heroin traffickers and a notorious child rapist. The NSW schoolboy, arrested on Tuesday with 3.6 grams of cannabis allegedly in his possession, is being held at a Denpasar police station under laws carrying a maximum 12-year sentence. His lawyer, Muhammad Rifan, said he had been crying all day and refusing to eat. Mr Rifan had demanded that a urine test be retaken. The boy's parents were feeling helpless as the enormity of their predicament set in. All three had required medical attention for their anguish. The boy, from Lake Macquarie, was holidaying with family and friends at a Legian resort. It's alleged he bought cannabis for the equivalent of $25 from a dealer while on his way to get a massage in Kuta. Police detained him outside a supermarket. The boy, who the Herald has chosen not to name, could be held for a month before facing a Denpasar court if charged. Juveniles often get sentenced over drugs in Indonesia, although the jail term is usually reduced by half or a third. He is the youngest Australian to be arrested in Indonesia.
 * We are connected by things like cricket, rugby world cup, fifa world cup, Olympics, basket ball, netball and golf. Of course there are more but I am going right to the point we are connected by breaking news, wins, loses, draws, injures, new people signing up or enlisting, people suspended or quitting and other people becoming a manger or trainer. **

We are globally connected in this article because we have people going to Bali to help the boy.

= 7 dead, 20 missing as asylum boat sinks = 01 November 2011 | 06:10:04 PM | Source: AAP At least seven asylum seekers have drowned after the boat they were travelling in sank soon after they left a port in Central Java bound for Australia. It is believed the death toll could rise, with authorities saying they were still searching for more than 20 people. Two young boys are among those confirmed dead. The boat, which left from Cilacap in the early hours of Tuesday morning, was carrying about 70 asylum seekers who are believed to have travelled to Indonesia from the Middle East. It sank about 5am local time (0900 AEDT) after taking on water for about two hours. The Australian government was looking into the reports, sources told AAP. An Indonesian police spokesman told AAP the vessel sank near Nusakambangan Island in waters between West Java and Central Java. "The latest update is 46 people rescued, seven people died. They are five women and two boys," Ciamis water police chief Samsudin said. "They're leaving from Cilacap and their ship sank around Nusakambangan Island," he said. "They left Cilacap at 2am and around 3am their ship leaked. At 5am, their ship already sank and was found by local fishermen." He said the vessel was heading for Australia. Ciamis police chief Agus Santoso said the rescue and recovery mission was ongoing. "We're still looking for other missing victims. Please help pray," he said. In 2001, about 140 Afghan refugees were detained on Nusakambangan after their boat, which was en route to Christmas Island, sank in rough seas.

This shows that the immigrants obviously came from a different country to come here. We are connected because allot of people from a certain country can inform us of this incident. Thanks for posting you articles Gab, however __your__ responses are VERY brief.
