Are newspapers becoming obsolete?

In the internet world that we live in, are the physical newspapers becoming outdated due to the online newspaper ability.  I know that I personally can look up something virtually more efficiently than searching through an actual newspaper.  In your opinion would you rather a virtual newspaper or the real deal?  Also, would it be smart for the large newspaper organizations to completely discard the printing of newspapers and go virtual, or stay old fashioned?

  1. I personally like the idea of having a physical newspaper, but find myself more often reading the news virtually. Virtual newspapers are the future of the industry.

  2. I believe that physical newspapers eventually will become outdated due to the technological advancements of the internet. I personally, would rather a physical newspaper or book compared to it being virtual. However, as the world continues to grow in numbers, I think it would be more logical to offer stop the production of printing newspapers and books and use our scarce resources aka trees for something other than paper.
