Twitter and content- Greg Knapp

I really enjoyed the readings this week. “Who needs newspapers when you have Twitter”, made me think about what was going on with our changing newspapers and technology. Chris Anderson is someone who seems to be very concise and straight to the point. Not many people, especially someone of his job description, would say what he said. He stated that the way people get their information will change forever. The new way that he stated was through the internet. I couldn’t agree with Chris more. Eventually the internet and computers will take over everything. Those who say that it won’t are either narrow-minded or unaware of their surroundings. Anyone with common sense would not pay for something that they could get for free. The internet also has much more information. There is no limit on words like in a newspaper, so people can write for however long they like. Newspapers will not be around forever. It’s not a matter of if but when.

In the content article, they displayed something that is a popular subject. Media is manipulating information to how they want us to see it. Some argue that people need to see it as a primary source. While others might say it protects us. I don’t really have an opinion on this. I do agree with the second diagram portrayed. I think that there shouldn’t be any information withheld from the public eye. Whatever, the media is hiding I think that we can handle the truth rather than being lied to.
