问题详情:
My late(已故的) father was a great believer in reading newspapers the first thing in the morning,a habit he passed down to me.
Every day,I need news,features and comics,along with the smell of printing ink,with breakfast,even if I have searched the Internet earlier in the morning. When I sit down to eat my bread,the newspaper has to be there. When it is late,my wife says I look lost.
Some need coffee in the morning. I need the newspaper,except when I’m on vacation. Then,I trade the routine for coffee,unless the hotel hangs a newspaper on my door.
However,the sword of Damocles(达摩克利斯之剑) hangs over my routine—a day may come when there won’t even be a newspaper. My younger friends insist this is the way newspapers will go. Maybe not in five or ten years,maybe it will take 20 years but the future of newspapers is unsure.
My younger friends rarely read the print media these days. They want their news either onscreen or in a cool,small package they can take anywhere and read at any time. The iPad and other similar gadgets(小玩意儿) will change our lives,I’m told. Even ebook readers,after a bad start,appear to be back on track because of the iPad.
They insist we’re now in the twilight(衰退期) of the newspaper business and the iPad may help to end it. Such a future is not something I like. Sure,there’s the Internet but it’s just not the same.
So here’s a little exercise for those who don’t want to read the newspapers any more. Buy one,find a quiet corner at home and spare an hour without distractions. Turn off your mobile phone,TV and PC,and lock up your wife,kids and pets. Start reading,from the first page to the last,and all the different sections and advertisements. When you reach the last page,you would have an experience that modern gadgets cannot offer.
