Why the iPad Will Never Replace a Newspaper

Even with Flipboard and other apps that provide a magazine or newspaper experience on the iPad, there are just some things that can only be accomplished with an old fashioned hard copy newspaper. Watch this ad for the Newsday iPad app and you will understand what I mean.

  1. Yeah, and the automobile with never replace the horse. Times change and so will the iPad. When it or some device similar becomes inexpensive enough (under a $100) the paper media industry will be doomed and it’s a good thing. I’ll be glad to see all that ink disappear from the environment. Please don’t make predictions about the future. Just because you can’t see it happening, it doesn’t mean that it won’t. If you stop to think about it, a portable reader is much more efficient at delivering content than any newspaper or magazine since it can be done instantaneously and doesn’t require physical delivery or the associated costs of daily disposal and recycling.

    It’s just like how the radio or television replaced people needing to physically go to see musicians or actors at a gathering place. There used to be traveling shows, but those stopped a long time ago and that was damn hard work traveling from town to town.

    Just carefully think back of how devices changed over the course of history and stop talking about how this or that can’t possibly happen.

    1. Did you watch the video? Your comment implies that you did not, which is kinda silly of you if you are going to have an opinion on the post.
