Would our next generation would forget what a newspaper looks like?

i think nothing is impossible. but i am not sure this matter thanks your sharing..

When you say next generation, like 20 to 50 years? Maybe not, unless there will be no more sources for paper or government policies prohibit use of paper. I read the paper, even when I have viewed the news on tv or in the net. Clippings from the newspaper look more authentic than printing from a website, as it has an official editor and publisher. Also, obituaries are something you don't always find in the web. Furthermore, I like working on the daily puzzles with my pen than by keying in the computer. And, you get to recycle newspapers even if you spend on them.

I have already unsubscribed myself from the newspaper long time ago. I now read news on the web and sometimes even the newspaper on the web. Its nice to know that the world is going online and digital. Makes life more comfortable and easier but also scary sometimes.

Though I don't like that day,but maybe you are right that day may come soon,for me,I think I spend more time on the computer,both work and spare time,maybe the newspapers and books would only see in the museum in the future.

I could see that happening eventually. I read an article where there was a university that was doing a pilot test using Itouch and netbooks to replace text books. From what I read the program we going well. They could update curriculum, give tests all in digital form. The idea was to eliminate paper books to provide for a more updated and fluid learning curriculum. Think about a hunderd years ago, the telegraph was e-mail, the pony express was fading, and the telephone was on the way in. I think that eventually most every thing will go digital and printed media will be a novelty.

offcourse not, they will have the newspaper a hardcopy and a softcopy. I imagine the people of that generation, they are more electronically and high technologigally aware of it. They can post news or even write in their own newspaper. Today an electronical photo frame shows snaps of things and are now popular.

I think that newspapers will disappear eventually. Today there are still people who don't use computers for instanse many of the people from my grandmother's generation, but I think that will change in the future. In many other situations papers have already disappeared from our daily lives. In the past I received a letter with information about my salary every month, now those letters are gone, and we can just log in and check our salary online instead. They save a lot of paper that way and it is just as easy to find the information online. I know that there are still people who read oldfashioned newspapers, but one day they will probably disappear and be replaced by online news sites.

I think the next generation won't use newspapers either. The way I see it is I can access the news and more or less anything else in a newspaper online either on the newspapers website or an independant one. I don't buy newspapers now as it's just an added expense which I think can be wiped out by using the internet instead.

Not at all, newspapers still have a long life before they die. Think of it, you can of course enter internet and read the same online, it's ok. But not everyone has the same possibility. We all have MyLot have computer access and internet conection. But for many people, computers are only a dream. They are still too costly to allow everyone to have one, internet conections aren't that accesible too, people here still wants to eat before internet. That mass of people helps keeping newspapers alive. Somes also simply don't like online news, and go and buy the classical nwespaper, even with a chance to get the same online. And one more thing, online news aren't that flexible as real newspaper. You need a computer, a notebook, or a newer cellphone. You can read everywhere, whenever you want with a paper, which never runs out of battery, never gets virus, has no bugs. It's not comfortable at all to be using your notebook on a full bus, a paper is manageable. I think that those "apocaliptic" messages that newspaper will disapear shortly, that everything will be replaced with computers and internet, are nothing but miths spreaded out by computer fanatics/addicts/sellers, just to promote their own bussines: "If you don't get your computer now, you'll not have any more news". I still don't believe that.
