I do believe that
traditional media will become less relevant. I think it is slowly becoming less
and less relevant. It is easier to find out what is going on in the world using
the internet or a phone. The traditional way of doing things just is not as
popular. Yes, people get the same information from newspaper as they get from
computers; but a newspaper can be a hassle at times. People have to make extra
stops to go to a store to buy a newspaper. Once they have purchased it they
have something else that they have to carry around. A person can just carry
their cell phone around and search the internet for whatever they want to know.
The inconvenience of newspaper is one of the biggest reasons I think they could
go out of business. I also believe newspaper would lose relevance someday
because they world keeps evolving and all that some generations will know are
technology, computers, and cell phones. The older people in the world are the
ones that are keeping traditional media alive. Producers of media have to try
to connect with all people and traditional media is the way they connect with
older people. Everything is about making money and all groups of people need to
be reached so money is made. As the
younger generations age traditional media will decrease. Like with everything
that was thought to be traditional at one point things die out. There will
always be people that support the traditional ways of doing things but majority
rules and people forget about things. Like the way people communicate and do
things now will die out because something new will come along. There is always
something new because the world is constantly changing.
I agree that traditional media will become less relevant as far as the world as a whole, but some area's such as small towns like Huntingdon will keep a hold of these traditional media devices simply because nobody else seems to focus on whats going on here.
