The Death of the Newspaper

I haven't read a (paper) newspaper or magazine in about 10 years, and I'm 54. I think it's weird that people still read paper.<p>Our local free newspaper still delivers to us each week (we can't get them to stop), but I actually read the content online at their website a couple of days before I get the hard copy version. It just goes directly to the recycling bin, unopened.<p>Magazines are even worse. Because they typically have a 2-4 month lead time, I've read pretty much everything weeks before they come out, for free, elsewhere.<p>As Craig Ferguson puts it, newspapers and magazines are like an old papery blog. Set up your feed reader and never look back.
