I have mixed feelings about the newspaper being completely replaced by websites. On one hand I think that it would be a good thing. It is a lot easier to get the news on a computer, I am always on my computer anyways so it saves me a trip to the mail box. I have all the information I need instantly. It is easy to browse for certain articals instead of looking through pages. It would also conserve paper and would be better for the environment.

On the other hand I think that it would not be fair to people that cannot afford a computer. It would be a hassle to have to go to the library if you wanted to read the news. If there were a power outage I would want to know what is going on and I wouldn’t be able get on the computer to find out. I like being able to pick up a newspaper and just read it or do the su do ku and crosswords.

I think that if the newspaper died a lot of people would be upset. Especally older people that do not use the computer as much as younger people. I also do not think that you get as much from the web pages as you do in the newspaper. They often shorten stories and just give you the highlights.

If they stopped printing the newspaper than some people would consider it dead. The newspaper would die but it would still be the same thing just without the paper. It would be remediated into something new. However, I don’t think that would ever happen.
