Newspapers, what
has become of them? Once peoples’ main source of information has become
obsolete due to the use of the internet. I still can remember looking up movie
times and getting coupons for sales from the newspaper now I can do that and
more from my computer, phone, or any smart device (even my TV).
Newspapers where a
sign of their time and efficient for the age they where useful in. They
served their purpose, getting information to the masses as quickly as
printing millions of text with ink and newsprint. They were the source of
information preferred above television and the radio. So what is it about the
internet that made the newspaper extinct?
I believe that it
comes down to speed. Everything is faster on the internet expelled now in the
2010s. Why wait days or walk to a store to get information you can get in less
than 30 seconds and not even have to leave your bed. The internet can do
everything the newspaper can and more.
The Internet also
lets people choose. They can read many articles on the same subject with out having
to buy multiple newspapers. It gives them a full and complete picture with even
if the articles have biases.
The internet is
like the tool that gave man the power to make the dodo bird extinct. It is literally
giving newspapers no way to escape being hunted and picked off by being smarter,
faster and more efficient.
