I am not shocked at all to find out that the internet is the main source for news for adults ages 18-29. Although I did find the numbers to be a bit shockingly high, because the amount of people that use the internet has doubled since 2007. If I ever need to find out current information then I go to the internet. I occasionally watch the news for school closings or if I have extra time in the morning, but it is not my main source for information. Not only is the internet a more frequently used place for news than radio, television, and newspapers, but all of this is available on the internet itself. Television shows that you miss live are available on the internet and I frequently watch shows there myself. Many people have also started to listen to radio programs on the internet when they are at work and using their computers. Along the same lines you can use the internet to read newspapers and this is often a free service, which makes it more convenient than having a hard copy of the paper. The fact that the internet provides each of these other three forms of media readily on the internet it’s easy to see how they are quickly coming obsolete. The internet provides all of them in one easy and opportune place. The internet also has its own forms of media, such as videos and podcasts, which can provide news and entertainment that you can’t find in other places or forms of media.
