This week I was wondering the future of newspapers. Personally in their current form, they will go extinct. The problem is the age old tradition of reading the news at the breakfast table is long gone. The reality is people want more portability in today’s society. For us commuters the newspaper is just to big to carry.
Personally I believe the future is the electronic newspaper. Something that is available on a e book reader or via the Kindle would make a lot of sens. The issue is these device need to come down in price.
Why these type of devices - for one they are ultra portable. No more bulky newspapers to carry. As a result they will appeal to the technology crowd who is always looking for more. Look no further then the mp3 player. They are small and extremely portable. No more big CD players to carry around.
