They won't even glance at a newspaper, not even to read the comics or the sales. The newspapers and evening news (I don't know anyone who sits down to watch the evening news) are obsolete. The web has killed them off. Hi, Do you really think, though, that 'the web' has killed them off or do you think it is rather that they do not think they make a difference or that they really care (as long as 'they' are doing okay or fine economically?) I kind of wonder about that... NOT that I am all that cynical. I am, rather, more hopeful about Gen Y than I am about Gen X (esp about the the end of Gen X....looking at the demographics that I do...) The ONLY hope I have is with those ages 10-14 years of age...certainly not with those older...
