Will MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTIONS become a thing of the PAST with ONLINE SUBSCRIPTIONS

I do believe it will come to a point where it will cost you too much to subscribe to them. I think they will make them, the price will be outrageous.

I think most magazines and papers will have less buyers as more and more uses the net. i myself think it would be too bad if they dissapeard all together. I surf the net every day, read alot of news online, but i think i'd really miss the actual paper or magazine. I think it's alot different reading the magazine it self. Its also easier to bring with me on the bus, the metro, to bed etc. I do think, and hope, the magazines and newspapares will be around for a while longer.

I subscribe to several magazines and most (maybe all?) of them have online counterparts. I must say that while I enjoy the online portions, I would be reticent to give up my hard copies. I love to read both books and magazines, but the latter is especially nice for outings during which waiting is required. I almost always have a magazine in my bag and pull it out whenever I have to wait. With an online magazine this is possible, but not nearly as convenient. Inevitably the batteries in my pda run out mid-article! ;)

unless we start putting computers in the bathroom, and teenagers stop decorating there rooms with the pictures, and enjoy getting mail, i dont think so to much

I think the old magazines will become history. Printing, paper, postage - all cost money and they can charge nearly the same price for the online version at a fraction of the cost.

Well everything has it's own beauty you cannot compare one thing with another in todays world

I do not think they will be a thing of the past as I believe they will continue since you can not have a computer or online access wherever you go, like in a bathroom or airplane or other places. There may be a decrease in magazine subscriptions due to online subscriptions though. There are many people that are so used to magazines that they will not switch over to online access.

I can't even seem to read the magazine that I subscribe to. ha ha I don't think that they will become a thing of the past. Unless of course, laptops become the new accessory to every outfit and internet connection is free everywhere. Because I can not be in front of the computer all the time. And the times that I am waiting in the doctor's office, those magazines come in pretty handy. :)

i dont think so. i still prefer hard copied magazines than online subscription since i am not online most of the time.

Do I ever feel like the dumb one, I did no that you could subscribe to magazines online. I don't think you will ever completly see the end of a paper ,magazine. Alot of people like to read in the tub. It would be hard to take the computer into the tub. Plus it is nice to go buy a pool and read a magazine. People wouldn't want to take their computers their. But, on the other hand if people could print of a few articles to read at the pool or while they are in the tub, maybe they can be a thing of the past.
