Newspaper-Social+Perspective

The Social Perspective-The Future of Newspapers Harin Patel

For years, it has been a tradition for young boys to throw papers and earn bucks, and the typical guy reading a newspaper on the single couch with a cigar. Newspapers have been a norm/tradition in this country for years. Every family would read the news and know what was going on around their town and country! Since the rise of the internet age, the sun is about to set very soon for newspapers.

Internet has become a personal assistance to everyone these days. It delivers email, news, money, videos, music, social networking, and more in a snap of a finger! People do not need to wait until the morning when the newspaper arrives, to learn that our US NAVY SEALS killed Osama B. Laden during the night! The internet delivers news to us in seconds of it being reported to news agencies. News is updating within seconds, and the internet allows us to keep up with this rapid change.

The future of newspapers is not looking so great. Many people being born are being introduced to the digital world rather than paper. I feel that newspapers will die out along with the generations that grew up with them. It will be a great social change in society, because the newspaper was the ideal thing that every family looked over at one point in their day. Not many people are computer savy, and would rather prefer the newspaper. People like these that do not wish to change with ttime, are the people that are keeping newspaper companies in business. If these people were to stop ordering the paper, newspapers would die out very instantly, because these companies rely on very few strings that still hang!

The young adults, kids, and teenagers today are all getting their news in diffretn ways then a newspaper.Either it be a TV or the internet, reading a newspaper is now a thing that "old people do". Many Newspaper companies are changing to the internet age. Here is a video about the Guardian from the UK, and how they are changing to the interner to stay in business.
