Honestly, in my opinion, I like the idea of not having newspapers anymore and just having everything online. I’m not someone who sees a newspaper, picks it up, and reads it. If I see something interesting on the homepage when I open up the internet, I’ll read it, then that usually makes me read other stories as well. I have nothing against having actual newspapers, but I just think it would be easier to do it all online since everyone does everything else online, banking, shopping, etc.
It seems that the future is heading into a totally different direction. Such as the post before mine explains about the varying speed limits and how just one speed limit is a thing of the past.
Whoever thought that when we were listening to cassette tapes that we would have CD’s? Which are now a thing of the past to us as well. Everyone has gone to MP3 players and iPods. Now no one even buys CD’s since all you have to do is get on the internet and download what songs you want instead of buying the whole CD. It makes you wonder, what’s next? This is the same with VHS players, no longer needed.
Who uses US Postal Service anymore? No one. Everyone has gone to emailing and facebooking what they used to send through letters. No one does their bills through the mail anymore either. Everyone has gone to online banking and paying their bills.
I’m not saying these things are all bad things because they have most definitely made my life easier. I’m just asking, what’s next? What we know as today, won’t be normal a year from now. Everything is changing all the time so how do we keep up? What does the future hold for technology and the way we use it?
