Newspaper

       I was shocked to see that the history of the newspaper went all the way back to Ancient Rome. Newspaper has survived for a very long time because there weren't many technologies that challenged it. At one point, many people began to use radio instead of newspapers. However, that changed when people considered the pros and cons of each medium. You can read a newspaper at any time, in whatever order and any topic interests you. But with radios, you can't skip the topics you dislike and you have to listen to it in whatever order it is broadcasted in. Today's technology is really challenging the business of newspaper because you could do all things with a newspaper on your phone. You could share and save it just like you could with newspapers but you would need to have knowledge how to use a phone. In order to have a phone you have to buy one and they are expensive while newspapers are cheap. The only reason newspapers are barely surviving is the tradition of the elderly. A vast majority of newspaper readers are the older generation because the norm back then was waking up and reading the paper.
