The Bible started off the huge glut of printed materials that were eventually widely available to the public. Experts and specialists wrote books for the increasing demand of information that Europe presented. Newspapers were the next step in the quickening of information around the world. In more modern times with the advent of the Internet, people are now able to define the type of news they would like to receive. The speediness at which news is delivered takes out most of the surprise.
People now know what is happening all the time.
The news in its current form will continue to evolve into something very dissimilar to what it is today. What began as a seemingly innocent invention of communication has developed into a massive beast. Information is readily available to anybody that desires it, without interpretation or reiteration. Tomorrow holds unknown secrets that are just waiting to surprise the world.
