The future of the physical newspaper?
Written by Mike Carter on September 9, 2008A company in Mountain View, California has released a ‘newspaper’ tablet
that is meant to be the first try at replacing the physical newspaper. If things weren’t bad enough for the print business 
With everyone trying to figure out how newspapers will survive today’s digital age of
citizen journalism and endless
ways in which to get the news, this device shows you what the future could be. Personally, I would love to have a paper that never gets ink on my hands and is constantly updated with the latest news that I want to read about. Other potential benefits -
- less newspaper clutter on London’s Underground
- a great green initiative
- total personalization of news
If you’d like to see this technology in action, I recommend heading down to your local Waterstones. Most of the major book stores in the UK are advertising the ‘book’ versions of similar technology.

Hi,
Yes cool technology indeed. There is talk of a newspaper made from soft plastic that incorporates a wi-fi adapter so it can be constantly updated from the web. This technology is being developed at Bristol university so watch this space.
I guess this would be the perfect solution for later adopters!

I prefer electronic newspaper rather then physical news papaer. In physical newspaper we can get news only once a day the news what has happened and no instant updates will be availble. Where in case of the electronic newspaper we can have news updates instantly in every second. This ler’s us knows what’s happening around us even we culd know regarding trading. Now-a-days people can’t really find time to read newspapers most of the people prefer reading electronic newspapers . So, that they can read what ever they want with out wasting there time along with work.
