I've realized lately that its been quiet a long time since I've seen anyone reading a newspaper. It's all about information over the web now-a-days. There was once a day when newspapers were the source of the newest news, but that day has long gone. Newspapers are becoming obsolete.
With the web people can get there news fast and free. Modern day teens and younger adults are naturally not the most patient people. We know what we want and we want it as soon as possible. Newspapers is just not the way to go anymore when it comes to meeting the needs of today.
While newspaper companies struggle, the world wide web is holding strong and shows no sign of slowing. In other words I predict it wont be long until newspapers are no more and everybody everywhere will be carrying around a computer for the latest information. Tell me about any piece of news and I can minimize this page, go to google and find out pages full of information on the topic. All in about 5 minutes. It would take me about 15-20 to get in my car, drive to a store, and purchase a paper. Not to mention the cost of the paper and gas.
