• This is in answer to:
  • Newspapers are reporting their own imminent deaths. Where else will (or do) you get your news? See all answers
    • I get no paper cuts with my news.
    • Why the internet trumps the paper every time.


      On the internet, you can learn about anything, at any time. Stephen Colbert pointed it out the best a few days ago. He was talking to a representative of the American Newspaper Associates, and he suddenly said "Ok, lets have a little contest. Let's see who can, the fastest, find how the DOW is doing, what the weather is, and where I can find a picture of Katy Perry's head photoshopped onto someone else's naked body. Ok, I'll use my iPhone, you use the newspaper, and...go.*10 seconds later, as the newspaper guy is still opening the paper* 'Done.' ". That's the reason. On the internet, you can learn whatever you want, when you want, and do whatever you want with it. But with the newspaper, you read a piece of paper, and clip something out with scissors at best. Boring.
