The Future Soon

They say that newspaper is dead. I’m pretty sure that the newspaper died sometime when I turned 13. I don’t see adults reading it anymore, and kids my age (‘cept for those few genius’s) either can’t read or don’t want to. Everybody now gets their news online, and it’s gotten pretty sad. So there ya go. There’s good and bad points to this, so we’ll see what happens. For example, one bad thing is that, yeah, TONS of people will, once again, be unemployed, and we will lose a large part of our history, as the paper has been around for years. But here’s good part. Since everything is online now, it’s not real paper, and since it’s not real paper, that means that the newspaper not being around will conserve real paper. My brother got an ipod touch for christmas, and one of the things that amazed me is how much you can do on it. When the first computer came out, it was as huge as a wall, and now it’s evolved to an ipod touch, which has internet, music, movies and games all in one handheld device. Wall. Palm. In less than 30 years almost. THAT’S quick. What with the way everything is going, the paper won’t be around for much longer, that’s all I’m saying. I mean, what about all the comics? I guess they have their websites, but truthfully the only comic I read religiously (and yes, I do go to the church and pray to the creator of the strip as well) is ‘Dilbert’. It’s just a shame that here goes another part of our history.

Before we know it, computers will be being phased out because we will just have chips in our heads, and all we have to do is shut our eyes to see everything on our eyelids. Then we click a small device attached to the back of our hand, and we can go watch porn or read the news right there. That’s the future my friends.
