More and more people today are turning to the internet or web as alternatives to getting their news, communicating, shopping, and even banking. The article I read for Artifact 1, Internet Surpasses Television as Main News Source for Young Adults, shows us how much the internet is growing among young adults and even becoming vastly more popular for individuals of all ages. The internet has become user friendly for all ages.
More people are relying on the internet to get their news then getting the information from the T.V. I was surprised that this has changed so much even in the last couple years. I found the different statistics to be very interesting. I know my parents don't get the news from the internet, hell; my mom won't even get on the computer unless she is at work. I on the other hand, do not watch T.V; therefore I do get my news from either the internet or from my peers. As it relates to the article, it has always been obvious that the younger generations are using the internet as the main source for a lot of things. However, we see a lot more adults and elders using the internet for their news source. Like stated in the article, the internet has Internet-T.V connection devices for news and regular T.V. The internet gives us fast results from many different sites and viewpoints. We can find exactly what we want to find within the news on the internet and that is why I believe more people are getting on their computers instead of turning on the 'Boob-Tube'.
