iPad 3 will be released a week later. All of us are guessing what can the next generation iPad be and what more benefits can it bring to us. At the moment we enjoy the fruits created by Steve Jobs and his team, can we imagine what will the traditional medium - newspaper will become in the coming future? Just imagine!

Imagine 1. Disappear
Most newspaper publishers, after the long profitable years, have to face declining advertising revenues, titles and circulation in many countries these years. And the financial crisis has expanded the downward trend. Newspaper readership is usually lower among younger people who tend to attribute less importance to print media. And the large fixed costs make newspaper organizations more vulnerable to the downturns and less agile in reacting to the online news environment. All of the factors could become the last straw that may crush the camels sometime in the future.
Imagine 2. Alive but Weak
The decline of the newspaper release has been an unchangeable fact for several years all over the world. With the development of science and technology, getting information through the internet has been a custom for many persons, especially the young. This caused the reality that the old newspaper is only purchased or subscribed by the old men or the persons who has nostalgia feelings; while most of the young prefer reading news from the internet, or reading only the e-books.

Imagine 3. New Material-Made Newspaper/ E-newspaper
New material made newspaper does not mean they are not made from paper. It just means the newspaper can be read in a new fashion. It may be made by paper, but such paper is not as common as we see now. The future news-paper may become a high-tech product, which contains all information in only one page; with the titles and pictures as well as videos combined together, they can be opened by few clicks.
Such newspaper contains news and can be as cheap as the common papers. What’s more, the future newspaper can be foldable as a paper book, and it can be recycled and the contents can be updated automatically. That can save a lot of paper and reserve our planet in an environmental protective way.

The future e-newspaper has become to reality to some extent as the development of technology and the popularization of mobile internet devices (MID), such as the iPad. And we could read them and get information as easily as the old style. Some experts said the future newspaper news can be read with only a few clicks. And with the maturing technology as flipping books, which has been succeeded in personal computer and Apple devices by the flash flip book software, can be used into the future newspaper for further reading. Probably at that time, reading newspaper can be fashion again and will be welcomed by the young generations.
