Jaron 11. Newspapers have become redundant in today's age of the internet

The Internet provides information updates round-the-clock while the newspaper has a time lapse in between publications, therefore, the Internet is a better mode of information dissemination in terms of updatedness. New York Times has both a daily newspaper and an online website and Twitter account to publish information. Information can be published rapidly on the Internet as can be seen by the constant updates on its website while in order for the same information to be published on the newspaper, we need to wait for at least the next day for it to be printed and sold. As such, the Internet can be used by people who want constant and almost instant updates regarding the most up-to-date and critical information in the world. Newspapers on the other hand require some time to be disseminated and the information between this time lapse may become outdated as the same information could have been published online several hours ago. Thus, newspapers have become redundant in today's age of the Internet as the Internet is a much efficient mode of information dissemination as compared to the newspaper.
