Digital and video download to be newspaper of the future.

Reading you newspaper over a streaming cup of coffee will be a thing of the past in a years to come as video and digital technology replace the print media of today. We know that broadband digital networks will be widespread and broadband wireless, too. The expert predicted that podcast or video messaging, as well as blogs,ebooks and Internet sites will become acessible via wireless and mobile video services as the technology evolves.

It's pretty obvious that digital connection is going to be like oxygen to our culture. Base from the studies, that are showing numbers of newspaper reader in the US is dwindling as cyberspace gains ground. One recent report by Pew research centre in Wasington found that 43% of Americans today turn to the internet for news as opposed to 17% who rely primarily on a nation newspaper. Much more wireless broadband will be available globally and information will be probably less text-based than visual . The changes of technologies would allow information to converge into a single device. Video would become the dominant medium for information with consumer able to download them on demand via the internet or mobile phones. We are witnessing an explosion of video creation and entering an era where video is everywhere. People are going to make video continously. Instead of getting text alert on our phones, we'll get little video alerts too. With that in mind, newspaper as we know them may become a thing of the past in the not-so-distant future. Print may be dying. Advertising revenues are also expected to change drastically, as ads on the internet are not as lucrative as those newspapers.
