Technology is a great tool, and the ability to make the news interactive should be taken advantage of instead of seen as a negative. You make some great points. Thanks so much for your comments!

If blogs can provide the information people want better than traditional methods, then great, that's just the evolution of business.

You're right, anyone clinging to the old ways has every reason to be afraid; they will get left behind fast in the 21st century. Hey Sam, great post.

Negative feelings that turned into positive. Twitter is addicting, isn't it? I'm glad you enjoyed this post and could relate to it. I'd love to talk to you about Quinnipiac. It definitely is a beautiful campus. Thanks for your comments! Kristina, it sounds like you had a similar experience to mine. Negative feelings that turned into positive.

You're right, we are supposed to learn about the real world in school, but I think there are some things we can only learn from experience. I'm with you, I really hope that newspapers find a way to survive. I can't imagine a world without them. Stephen, thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts.
