Future of Print Media

I agree, due to technology and digital media that the demand for  hard copy books, newspapers and magazines has dropped tremendously, but I do not believe they would be fully discontinued any time soon. Personally, am not the type to go out and buy a book and read it for pleasure, instead I only purchase books for educational reasons; such as a class requirement or on the job research. With technology, all the information available is at the tip of our fingers, News reports come to us through social media and the average person uses google search about 25 times a day. Books in particular thought us how to express ourselves, gave us an imagination and more, although my generation aren’t fully in touch with print media, I feel that the older generation will extend the life of books. They’re the ones still visiting the libraries and purchasing hard copy books. The older folks enjoy and get pleasure from the smell of the pages to having to turn a page; its what they grew up on, that’s why it is more-likely for them to buy a hard copy book instead of purchasing a digital copy. Based on the article Tweens and teens currently are more interested in going  to see a movie than goin out to buy the book, which is true; I personally have watched all the Harry Potter movies but has never bought a Harry Potter book. Although some are not embracing digital media, I feel that it brings efficiency, unlimited access to information and bring many stories to life.
