Paper Summary:

Written in the first person in a discussion format, this paper relates why the writer doubts that printed newspapers will be taken over by newspapers found online. Advantages of each are discussed.

From the Paper:

"Similar to the reasons why I do not believe e-books will overtake traditional printed books, I also do not foresee online versions of newspapers replacing their counterparts in daily circulation. The primary conflict with an online newspaper that comes to mind is portability. You do not have the option to bring an electronic newspaper into the bathroom or stuff it in your back pocket for future reference. Furthermore, I know that at some point in their lives, everyone has rolled up a newspaper to swat a fly or some other insect that found its way inside the house. And nobody in their right mind is going to chuck their computer or palm pilot across the room to kill a bug. Secondly, there are countless instances in which newspaper readers will cut out clippings that in some way hold a certain significance to them. When looking back on these articles years later, people are not going to want to see a piece of printer paper; they will want to see something authentic the original section of the newspaper from which the clipping was removed."
