Will paper media disappear completely? Will there be paper media in the future?

With the development of the Internet era, the reading habits of users are slowly changing, and the way readers get content is slowly shifting from plane to network. Whether paper media and books will disappear has been discussed for many years. So will the paper media disappear completely? Will there be paper media in the future? Let me introduce you.

Will paper media disappear completely?

Nowadays, information dissemination is increasingly independent of the medium of "paper". A large amount of information was born, consumed and recreated in a paperless environment, completely separated from paper media communication, and finally fell silent.

In terms of people's ideas or habits, the more normal the above process is, the less likely it is to return to the paper media era: when the public is used to unlimited information sources, constantly updated events, and constantly enriched details and backgrounds, it is difficult to trust the static views generated from a limited perspective.

Personally, the paper media will disappear from a practical point of view, just like bamboo slips replaced by bamboo slips, silk books replaced by silk books, and electronic media replaced by paper media.

This replacement process can be completed faster than the previous replacement of the content carrier. With the current speed of technological development and responsiveness to user experience, this replacement process will not be too long, because there are huge commercial interests behind it.

Every technological upgrade of electronic media will divert some readers from paper media until paper media becomes a very small form of reading.

Will there be paper media in the future?

From the perspective of social development, what we need is to reposition the paper media for long-term preservation and development. Identify your own characteristics and advantages in the current environment and give full play to them.

For example, I think it is extremely glorious and sacred to immerse myself in reading paper books. Reading a good book, a good report in the newspaper, brings an impression far more than brushing electronic equipment.

However, many newspapers have begun to change, focusing on visual and picture tables, and have also begun to make websites, adding videos, city services and other content. However, these reforms remain the same.

With the advent of the Internet era, readers of traditional paper media have turned to new media reading tools such as mobile phones and computers. Coupled with the rise and rapid development of the media, the reading space of paper media has been greatly compressed.

At present, print media and advertising space are shrinking, and there are fewer and fewer individual subscribers, which are generally in a bleak state of operation. In addition, many newspapers across the country have stopped publishing.

There are indications that in the future, the living space of paper media will become smaller and smaller, and it is impossible to completely disappear, at least there will be a few left. But the future paper media, that is, symbolic newspapers!
