Newspapers
have been around since 59 BC, but today with all of our modern technology,
newspapers are slowly dying out. There are many disadvantages to using newspapers when
it comes to using the internet and our modern
technology, but in my opinion the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
First of all, newspapers are a tradition. By that I mean that for many generations, people have been reading newspapers. It is a part of how some people have grown up! Some people grow up sitting at the breakfast table, drinking coffee and reading the morning paper. If newspapers disappear, years and years of traditions just go down the drain with it!
Secondly, newspapers are physical objects so they are very portable and super easy to share. Some people who are more hands on readers and learners like to have a physical object in their hands when they are reading something because it’s easier for them to digest the information. Since newspapers are physical objects, it is also very easy to share newspapers because you don’t have to worry about your $200 electronic device and you can just hand people a cheap piece of paper.
That brings me to my next advantage which is how newspapers are very cheap compared to other modern news sources. Since newspapers are so cheap, it is very simple to just grab a daily newspaper on your way to work or to get them in the mornings. Another reason why a lot of people prefer to read newspapers is because they are low tech. They require no technology to read and are easy to dispose/recycle/share after you're finished with it.
One of the biggest advantages to newspapers is that they are very dense and deep when it comes to sharing details of news stories. Compared to 30 second stories on the nightly news programs, newspapers are super descriptive and provide lots of deep and clear information for readers.
The newspapers lecture really gave me a better understanding of the advantages of newspapers and why they probably won't fully disappear for a very long time even though they are not nearly as popular today as they once were.
