- The moral issue concerning what would happen if the news were edited and featured through computers alone; designed to suit each individuals interests
- The issue of who would be responsible for copyright
- The effect digitally transmitted news has on society
- The idea of a custom content package which allows individuals to receive news personally designed to suit their interests and requirements
In my opinion, news is rapidly becoming a product of the digital age. I believe this is due to the fact that it is accessible at the click of a button and can be read quickly and is updated frequently. Alternatively, traditional newspapers can be classed as 'inconvenient' in comparison to news easily accessed through the Internet, and is seen to not conform with contemporary society's need for fast, easily accessible information.
However, i do not necessarily view this as a positive development as i believe such an intense intake of digital information is damaging our society. For example, in the near future no one will have to do anything for themselves if technology continues to develop and upgrade at such an fast pace. This could lead to the destruction of the traditional society as we now know it and result in the loss of society's function of being a unit of production to it simply being a unit of consumption.
