No Need For Newspapers When We Have Technology
The end of the newspapers has been coming for years now. People get news, sports updates, weather, live TV, and just about anything you can imagine sent to their phones or e-mail. You can find just about anything you want on the Internet, and now your phone can provide real internet.
There is no need for people to go out and purchase a paper when you can read stories online anywhere. All the future generations will be born in a technology age so why didn’t newspapers see their end? Online papers are updated every few seconds.
There is a new gadget that will allow your newspaper or magazine to appear on an electronic plastic screen called an e-reader. Whether or not these gadgets will save newspaper companies we will have to wait and see. Newspaper companies need to use technology to their benefit. They could charge for their web sites and continue to look into new products like the gadget. Many papers have raised the prices to make up for the decline in sales.
The postal system could even come to an end with the success of e-mail and instant messaging. The death of the newspapers is just the beginning. People can now use web cams to communicate with people in other countries instead of waiting days for a letter. There seems to be no need for paper with all the electronic devices we can use instead. Technology has changed the way we conduct our daily lives.

I completely agree with what blogger jadavis2 has said above. The newspaper is coming to an end because of technology. The world wide web has become such a versatile tool in most people's daily life. It allows many people to save money and not buy a newspaper subscription.
ReplyDeleteAlthough many people today are canceling newspaper subscriptions, and getting their news online, online sources may not be as credible. Online news is all about timeliness, and stories get put up so fast that many times the facts aren't quite straight.
The web is what we can count on for our future web source. As Stovall states in chapter 7, "The Web is a medium of vast potential for presenting the news and information. Its flexibility is enormous." The age that we live in is full of technology, and it is always evolving.
It is unknown what will happen for sure to the newspaper, but we know that technology is here to stay.
