The End of Paper

If the newspaper has any hope of continuing, they are going to have to learn to adapt to the ever changing technology which plays such a big role in our lives today.  After reading the article, "The End of Paper?" it made me realize this was not going to be as simple as many thought.  The article was written four years ago so obviously technology has advanced since then, especially e-books and tablets which the article focuses on.  I do hope that the newspapers will be able to adapt their ways to continue to be successful, but it will be much harder than anticipated.  I think that if enough people were willing to buy subscriptions to magazines and newspapers when they were in their original paper forms, it should be no problem to get consumers to purchase them electronically if they have the technology to do so.  Once the technology of e-books and tablets becomes even more common, the market for publishers will grow and therefore will be easier to gain revenue from their consumers.  Personally, I prefer to have the actually newspaper or magazine in front me rather on a digital screen, but as publishers have to adapt to up and coming technology so do we.
