The computer is capable of accomplishing so much with such little effort for print sources to be our main source of news. Not to long ago people were filling bags up with books and papers to read when they arrived at their destination. Now days, if you have a computer you can read your books on the web and have it for many other uses. Computers make it a lot easier and faster to get news out to a variety of people. Back in the day they would have to make several copies of what news was needed to get out and then pass them out among. Now, it's just a click away from hundreds or some times thousands of people at a time. E-mails replaced phone calls, meetings, and in some cases even secretaries. They call the computer the atomic bomb that wiped out typewriters, white-out, carbon paper, in and out boxes and a serious percentage of stamps, Scotch tape, paperclips, staplers, clocks, adding machines and, ultimately, paper itself.
I am an avid computer user myself and believe that there is not a use to keep printing news on paper. At least not as many copies that they make, because they do not sell every copy and that is such a waste of paper. I feel you should only be able to obtain a printed source if you rather get your news, and or information in that form of matter through a subscription.
