I have been into the future, and it works. The great advantage of newspapers, of course, is that they are familiar and convenient. You can hold 'em. Your can fold 'em. You can carry them around, divvy them up between readers, and, when you are done, use them as kindling.
Computers are clunky.
It takes time and bother to get on the Net, time and bother to find what you are looking for, time and bother to download. True, but at the turn of the century starting an automobile was also hard. It was much easier to mount a horse than crank up the starter, release the hand brake, get in gear and start yourself rolling down the road. Then came the ignition key. It will come for computers too.
