The Death of Newspapers - Brydan Zbytovsky

Yes newspapers are dying out with the technology these days everything is being broadcasted on the internet. Also newspapers are making the adjustment to the new day and age of technology because magazines and E-readers are making interactive reading for the I-pad. All of this is a huge step into technology towards the new day and age.

It’s getting more difficult for newspapers to survive because the cost of newspapers to be printed are getting higher and with technology now everyone is using the internet and not caring about the newspapers so the value and amount of people reading them is going down a lot recently. Even the New York times one of the biggest newspapers in the U.S. is struggling to keep printing their paper.

Yes I think we should care if newspapers no longer exist because there is a lot of people in this world that don’t use technology like other people do. For example the older people in this world, lots of them don’t use computers so if newspapers die out how will they be able to read the news from newspapers on the internet, there not going to go and buy a computer just to see whats going on in the world. Also if you are travelling somewhere and don’t have a laptop how are you supposed to get on the internet and read the news, it might be handier to have it on the internet but the newspapers are way more reliable. I really think we should care for this newspapers are also part of our heritage, it’s what started news around the world.

There is quite a few advantages for getting your news on the web than from a newspaper because it is accessible all the time, you don't have to go uptown or to the post office to get the paper, can find mostly anything you want about news on the internet, and you don't have to pay for it, it seems like everything you want doesn't it? Well some disadvantages are what about when your internet doesn't work, or you don't even have internet. Also can you find your local news on the internet? I believe that is another problem with getting your news on the web. Another disadvantage is you just lose the tradition and feel of the newspaper if you get your news off the web. Yes maybe technology is the new thing but does it really have to take over the world?

Yes I will miss newspapers because there a part of our heritage and I just like going through the newspaper to check all the ads and cool designs of the newspaper the real life feeling of a newspaper, when you don’t get that with it on the computer.

Yes I think lots of people will miss newspaper because they are used to having them and sitting down and opening up the paper newspaper every week. Without newspapers they won't have the heritage and history like back in the old days, when newspapers started. I believe everyone will miss newspapers, but in years to come everyone will be over it and evolve through the technology and the evolution and won't care anymore in time.
