Are Tablets the Newspaper of the Future?

The iPad, the newspaper of tomorrow?

Most of us read a newspaper every day.  They’re at the end of your driveway or in your mailbox waiting for you.  However, what would happen if you didn’t get the newspaper? How would you read it?  How about pulling out your iPad and reading it while you have your coffee or ride the subway to work.

Well, it could happen, as explained in the article “the Newspaper of the Future...”  The tablet, which was introduced only about a year ago, has started to gain a user base.  That was in 2010.  Imagine how many are there now.  As well, it explained that only 59% of tablet users still get their news from newspapers or magazines. 

After looking at the facts and statistics, a tablet like the iPad could change the focus of news where it would target the young and the old. I hardly read the newspaper but I do read the news on my iPod, so why not read it on an iPad. 

If people read their news on the iPad in the future, it will have a consequence, which will be good for our planet. If we download our news instead of buying newspapers, it would reduce the number of trees that would be cut down and reduce paper waste.  This in turn would help the environment ensuring that our future generations have a healthier and greener planet.

So will tablets be the newspaper of the future? It sure seems that’s the road we’re taking. The tablet is a fresh new technology and it has yet to reach its full potential. So, if you’re thinking of tossing your newspaper and getting a tablet, go for it. It’s a small price to pay for a greener future.
