The Death of Newspapers
I have been reading articles about the death of the newspaper for years now. And I always take this with a substantial grain of salt. I might not read the paper much on paper but I rely on the web version of the paper I’ve always read for much of my news.
The newspaper might not be on paper for me but the business seems to work in some fashion.
The other day I another teacher told me he thought that newspaper had less than ten years left on paper. At first I dismissed this but then I thought that, as more and more people do what I do and read online, the paper edition will presumably fall below the critical mass on day.
I thought about all the music I buy online and how little I buy in the shops. And suddenly I wondered just how many years the paper newspaper had left.
Lesson for the day – products just die more quickly than I imagine.
