RE: So the digital age means the end of newspapers, right?
Now I feel old. I still buy newspapers especially the once a week local newspaper we have here sold every Sunday. They have a website but that is updated every Wednesday. I don't want to be left behind with the latest local news now, would I? :D There are contents in the print that are not in the website like obituary lol! But especially ads and job vacancies.
Indeed there are benefits of digital print but how are they beneficial when there's no power, no gadgets to access online? Those are probably negligible reasons but there is still benefit of reading it on paper.
I have to agree that access to information is easier now and that the paper is neglected. It is a tough competition out there.
hahaha the local news is always good to read esp when they advertise local food or arts festival events @leeart! Completely agree that we have become a culture of dependency on technology. I always fear that in a few generations, no one will be able to write properly :o
Yes on all points! I can't always find things easily online. Maybe I just don't know where to look lol!
Writing is an issue. Txt speak has affected us all. We should discourage that.
100% agree if all the fancy tech disappears. There is still certainly needs for print papers now or they wouldn't be around.
