The Newsies

In the days of the "newsies generation", five cents a paper is no longer an issue. Instead, everyone obtains their information from the internet.  The internet has become so vast that it literally holds any and all of the facts that people need.  A man's daily ritual is now interfered with Google's technology, by the click of a mouse.  Instead of enjoying a cup of coffee or sitting on the pot with newsprint, these days, people would rather log onto the internet to save precious time.  

Besides the internet, other technology has also impacted many peoples as far as communication is concerned.  Take the Iphone, for instance.  Internet, music, news, GPS, and entertainment are all included in this compact device. It's no wonder why people prefer technology over print, because of the high quality of advertisements these days.  Although this new technology is quite impersonal, it serves to the general public's needs and fast-paced lifestyles. 

Even though it may not seem as if this decade has progressed to this extreme, peoples are overwhelmed by the vast amount of technology that is available to today's society.  Not only are they able to use one device for anything they need, they are able to satisfy themselves without the need of direct contact, namely print.  Where is this new technology bringing us? Will there ever be print again? We see many social acceptances recycle themselves, especially fashion.  Could our knowledge concerning worldly news be one of them? It it hard to perceive the future, but time will only tell.
