In the article, "The Internet is No Substitute for the Dying Newspaper Industry" talks about a world where information is conveyed primarily through rapidly moving images rather than print. The decline of newspapers is about the rise of the corporate state, the loss of civic and responsibility to inform the public. Newspaper stocks have decreased drastically. More people have been using internet to find there vital information, which includes the majority of bloggers and internet addicts. I have to agree as i see the use of the internet used for almost everything.

The article "Is google making us stupid?", the article discusses how we have become more depended on google as our prime source of search engine we forgot how to use other things to help us gain information, we rely solely on the internet now for any piece of information. Hal had believed that the past few years he had an uncomfortable sense that someone, or something, has been tinkering with his brain, remapping the neural circuitry, reprogramming the memory. His attention had gone, he cannot focus his attention on his readings any longer. The need of using the internet has become embedded in his brain and cannot continuously keep his eyes on the print. The use of internet reading has had few people sparking the question, is it holding you back as some have stopped reading books completely. Well I have issues reading so maybe that is the cause..

Both similar in that the use of internet to find out information is used rather than traditional ways of the newspaper. Quicker more timely information coming from the internet with the click of a button, you can access so much on the internet. Unfortunately the decrease in newspaper stocks continues to fall and the internet just isn't good enough to keep them in the game. As well as the fact that many pieces on the internet can be completely opinion pieces.
