Newspapers Die?

I refer to an article in Todayonline.com (Top News // Weekend, March 14, 2009) :

"You’ve been warned:if newspapers Die ... Companies will see sales slump, citizens will make important decisions in the dark" http://www.todayonline.com/articles/307448.asp ( hopefully the link still work over time)

In my opinion, the writer was trying to bring out the point that Newspaper is still important to the society. Who can deny that?... The question is, is Newspaper refers to Paper or is Newspaper refers to News?

If the "Newspaper" company still don't get the answers right and do the right things, ..... it will be very difficult to progress..... progress is the willingness to leave something behind and to pick up something ahead...

A decision Yesterday make me Today

14 years ago, I decided to buy a computer and learn typing.....the 1st experience was EXCITING.....then it becomes TOUGH.......and now, it becomes WORTH IT!

Learning from what is hardware, os, dos to windows, database, spreadsheets, wordprocessors....the list goes on and on......I realised that TYPING is the common denominator of computer things. I had 2 choices. Either I live with my "2 finger" typing or I pick up "real" typing. And you may have guessed, I made the decision, took the pain and picked up "real" typing. Although I am not a super sonic typist, I am confident to type like I am writing. In fact, I only look at the screen when I type and I cannot remember which key is what alphabet now.......

Back to the learning of typing. Some people may say it is nothing. But to me, it was like climbing uphill with a stone double the seize of me hanging on my neck.......

I still remembered during that time, I got myself a typing sofware. The software is not available now. It was running on windows 3.1.

2nd Great Depression from 2008

In my own opinion, year 2009 is like the 1930 Great Depression. Both started a year before which is 2008 and 1929 respectively. Year 2009 is NOT a normal financial crisis.

Is Great Depression good or back? Like most life experience people, my understanding is that in every good comes with a bad side and in every bad comes with a good side. Hence, it really comes down to how you look at it.

One thing that I am very sure and will bet on every cents that I have is that CHANGES is the only way to overcome Great Depression and it is inevitable. We all know that CHANGES is uncomfortable. People usually are comfortable with what they are already doing especially when what they are ready doing is making them comfortable. Old habits die hard and New way takes time to develop...... but changes, which is like adaptation is the element of survival.
