Where Will We Be in 10 Years?

It is scary to think how far we have come in the past 10 years. I am one of those people who really enjoy reading the newspaper, and I cannot imagine life without it. However; im afraid that in 10 years this will indeed be the case.

The thing that really scares me is how far we have come in the past 10 years. I remember as a little kid, how big of a deal it was to be able to "surf the web". Nowadays, there are so many more things we can do online, and we are all expected to be able to do this., especially in college.

The Internet has become so accesible, that I am beginning to think that people are relying on it too much. If newspapers want to stay in business (which I hope they do), they shouldn't have so much information on their website. Sure, I like getting national information (like from the NYpost), when I can't get it anywhere else, but having all of the same information online gives people a reason to save money.

There are many opinions about the demise of newspapers, but in my opinion, the day newspapers are gone, is the day that we have gone too far with technology. I hope that when I am at an old age, I will still be able to walk outside in the morning to get the paper, because it means so much more than just that.
