"The Rise of the Internet" ...The internet is a massive source of basically everything and it is indeed being seen as a huge opportunity to change how the world works. I think with the rise of technology and the availability of the internet to every household makes newspapers seem almost obsolete. With the ability to access the New York Times, Toronto Star, the Wall Street Journal and many more directly through the internet, and the majority of the time for free, make it possible for anyone with a computer to read the daily news whenever and wherever they want without having to wait.

With the rise of the internet, speed and availability because top priorities. Why wait for the big story to be printed and delivered to your front door in the morning when you can instantly read the latest breaking news headline online 10 minutes after it happens? With the rise of the internet and the demand and desire for instantaneous information the printed newspaper may eventually become obsolete.

Not only do internet versions of newspapers offer instant information, but they also offer the ability of anyone to comment and state their opinion on whatever article they wish. So, online newspapers also promote interaction between people.
