You Can't Avoid The Future

Isn't the newspaper starting to look a little long in the tooth? Many
people are starting to migrate to newer ways of accessing information.
They want to know what is happening now, faster and smarter. People are
moving towards TV's, cell phone applications, interactive websites, and
social media to find out the news on topics they want. In news, one size
does not fit all. People want to hear the news that they feel is
important, whether it be finance, crimes, world news, or technology
industries. Matthew doesn't like to use the newspaper because
he feels that it is too much of a struggle to find the topics he wants
to hear about. He goes straight to the TV, clicks on the remote, and
sits back and relaxes. Sports? ESPN. World News? NBC. Finance? CNBC.
Local? Eyewitness news. TV is just easier, and Matt gets the information
that he wants, faster.  Like
many other kids, Matthew doesn't feel like the news is a big part of his
life, but all of the social media, constant internet connection whether
at home or mobile, and the wide use of television these days. He feels
that soon the world will be completely electronic, and let's face it: we
are almost there. Think of your everyday life. Wake up, and the first
thing you see is electronic, your cell phone, alarm clock or whatever
you use. Next thing clicked on, the TV for some daily updates. Then you
check the internet, smarphone or tablet for the weather. Next you drive
to work, voice dialing clients and fellow staff for your job. The UI's
of the car have been getting as advanced as our PC's these days. Then at
work, you sit at your computer, watching the e-mails flood into your
virtual inbox. You go home. Walking in the door, you hear the sound of
an eerie screech, and find your son playing Call of Duty: Black Ops in
the basment, killing someone they don't even know in a video game. The
bottom line is our life is now conpletely connected. Nothing is stopping
it.
