I have not bought a news paper in years. Occasionally when visiting my 74 year old Mother, I will read parts of hers out of nostalgia, but for the most part I am ready for the day the last news paper is printed. Let’s face it, that day is getting closer all the time. I think we’ll all survive, as one experience replaces another.
As long as we have a vehicle for receiving our news, does the format really matter? I don’t think so. What really concerns me is all the other things we use newspapers for. What will happen when we no longer have stacks of papers around?
That’s the question raised by The Onion in it’s recent news report parody hitting on the hot button issues surrounding the death of newspapers.
How Will The End Of Print Journalism Affect Old Loons Who Hoard Newspapers?
This clip leaves a lot of unanswered questions, namely:
- What will crazy old loons stack in their houses when newspapers are gone?
- Are newspapers more ’stackable’ than computer printouts?
- What will people cover the floor with while painting?
- What will kindergarten teachers use now to make piñatas?
You gotta love The Onion.
