Blog 6: The End of Papers?

I feel like we are at a time where we may lose papers but I don't think they will ever be completely gone. At least not for a very long time. I say this because the older generations will always want a newspaper. The business people always use the paper to check the latest news and drink their coffee right? I think that e-readers with subscriptions to newspapers would be a hit. But a lot of the news in the paper can be found free on the internet. I feel that the newspaper won't ever completely disappear but their business will start to decline gradually over time. Now I couldn't tell you if it will be possible for the newspaper companies to stay in business. I think a lot of people like the idea of a newspaper but  it would be better online. It would be easier to obtain and check the information if it were offered online. I don't really know what the future of the newspaper is but I don't buy the paper and I don't watch the news which is sad but it is hard to watch pure sadness all the time. I think it is important to have the option of a paper but I don't think that it is vital.
