Will the Internet kill magazines? Did instant coffee kill coffee?

In the article I chose the title said "Will the Internet kill magazines? Did instant coffee kill coffee?". The title is very significant  to the article because it is saying has the Internet taken over people reading magazines? It says that new technologies change many things, but it does not stop people from reading magazines. Magazine readership has increased over the past five years and people are not being displaced by "instant" media like it seems. Magazines create relationships that the Internet doesn't. Internet has usually the same information but updated content but every month a magazine has something new inside it and it is easy to access the latest updates of style or hair, even if you can do that online, the magazine promotes a deeper connection. Magazines are also good for advertisements on products. Magazines are number one for people who consider buying a product that they see in it. We are not completely distracted by the Internet and hopefully reading magazines will increase more over the years.

  2. I would definitely have to agree with the findings in this article. I myself prefer to read the published reviews of products in magazines as opposed to online reviews. You know that this magazine is in business so the accuracy of their articles is prudent to their success. Any John Does can post his personal opinion on the web without much concern for the success of the website.
