With regards to the news, I believe we will continue to see more digital news. I could see people discontinue reading hard copies of newspapers resulting in newspaper companies going out of business. I believe that laptops will phase out of popularity and people will begin carrying Ipad size tablets which will contain their whole life. People will no longer want to be bogged down by a traditional newspaper when they can access anything they want through their touchpad.
I believe this will cause more and more people to become narrow-minded and less-educated on world events. People will only search out news that already interests them and reenforces their views. People will not be subjected to news that they don't feel is applicable to them.
I imagine social skills will also deteriorate as a result of technological advances. I could see people mainly communicating electronically. It is fast and effective. People can also think about what they want to say beforehand.
On a religious note, I think satan will gain a strong hold on technology and use it against us. I think we are close to reaching a point that we no longer need technological advances in communication. Instead, we need people thinking up ways to be more environmentally conscious (inexpensive energy-efficient cars). More than ever, we need people to figure out better ways to filter out the filth in our lives.
Only time will tell what the future holds in news. I just hope we progress as a people and remembers what's important in life.
I really like your observation on this....

Thank you. I hope this isn't the case but I'm afraid it will be.
