In our lifetime, we will probably see the complete or close to complete extinction of newspapers. We will also see a shift in radio and televsion and we better be ready for it.
Already, the traditional media outlets have moved from just being one medium to being online as well. Television stations now have websites, the news anchors have blogs, and the audience can comment on the stories as they are posted.
We have already seen newspapers like the Rocky Mountain News stop printing and move entirely online. Journalists have blogs and twitter accounts and are updating more than they are writing stories.
The traditional mediums are being changed by the internet. We opt to get our information from sources online. We no longer find a way to be home in time for the six o'clock news. We have Blackberry's that stream us the most up-to-date news stories or iPhone applications that let us know the weather with the touch of an application.
There is no doubt we will continue to see changes in traditional media. What is doubtful is how much the old mediums will stay the same while newer, faster, better mediums are emerging.
