A man visits his daughter who recently graduated from college.

During their visit the dad asks his daughter for a newspaper. The daughter responds by saying "dad this the 21st century, here is an IPAD." The fly never knew what hit him.

An Ipad and an internet connection costs considerably more.

If newspapers were to totally dissapear, it would make news only available to those who can afford it.

It can give you more of a feel for where you are. Nice to sit at breakfast and peruse, whether it be large or a small town.
