21st Century: Newspaper vs. Internet In modern world, the role of newspaper is being seriously challenged by the booming IT industry or Internet. As a matter of fact, nowadays nearly everything starts with an “e”, and newspaper will be replaced by other computer-based means of information transportation.
In the first place, newspaper can never match the Internet in its speed. Actually, information of any kind can be transported digitally at up to 300 million meters per second. In a world of efficiency, newspaper can be defeated for this reason solely.
Furthermore, with the Internet, information can be transmitted in a three-dimensional way, which consists of sound, live-show and even interaction, whereas in the paper, only words and photographs could be presented. Therefore, the former is more vivid and descriptive.
In conclusion, though newspaper is still regarded as indispensable for our daily life, it cannot match the Internet in many aspects.
