image thumb93 Why A Newspaper Is Better Than an iPad?

Many would argue for an indefinite extent that the iPad or any other tablet is the perfect replacement for the Newspapers. Agreed. But don’t you think there are things that the iPad can never do what your newspaper can? Can you light a fire in the middle of a forest with the iPad?

image thumb68 And Google Suggests that Newspapers are Dying, Dead, Obsolete...

Now you need to have a keen eye to make such an observation and actually share it with the world.

image thumb6 Google pushes its News Search Archive, Quadruples papers in archive

The print media is eventually going to pave way for online content and newspapers might more or less be limited to an occasional appearance in the near future. I am not sure who is making the most out of archiving it but Google is definitely trying to make most of it. The giant has quadrupled newspaper copies in its News Archive Search which according to claims can search publications as old as 200 years. Now that’s keeping history alive and i bet it hasn’t given up on multiplying it even more. And is it only doing so to preserve information? I can bet that is a major reason, but it has all the AdSense to paste against each publication and make some cash out of it, but is that wrong? I don’t mind Google making money by giving easy access to all the information out there.
