I'm not a 20 something-er but I *never* pick up a newspaper.  I've  always 
hated their bulky size and the print that rubs off your hands.  And  you have 
to 
scan each page skimming for what you want.  Even if I want to  see something 
in the local paper I look it up on-line because I know I can find  what I want 
within a 10 second search.  And if I really need hard copy  there's always 
the printer.  I do watch the evening news just because the  computer I'm 
currently stuck with does such a poor job of video-streaming.   I'm not sure I 
understand the loss of use of printed news or televised news as a  bad thing.

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...

Sincerely,
Marlena in  Missouri
