Why Seniors still need NEWSPAPERS....

My parents still get the paper. Mom loves the coupons and sales papers. But she would not be able to go digital. Her cell phone is just a basic flip phone and even with that she doesn't know how to use all the features. And my dad used to be very good with computers but with his eye sight now...

I'm not a senior yet and I'm technologically savvy, but I still prefer my physical paper copy still in both magazines (at least some) and newspapers. I currently subscribe to the Wallstreet Journal and a local newspaper. I don't care what other people think.

I still prefer newspaper than read from pc.

As an avid reader of newspapers, I sure did appreciate that story. Thanks for sharing it.

Had me going, thanks for the giggle.

lol!  I really did laugh out loud at that.  I've swatted many a fly with a rolled up newspaper!  The younger generation doesn't know what they are missing!  My mom still gets the newspaper at 103!  She says she was born too soon for all this new technology.

We have the option to have a paid online subscription but you do not have to have the hard copy also.  You pay for that separate if you want it.  I do not have either.  Our paper is a joke.  There is never anything in it.  I can access the local news via a couple of radio stations.  And you can view part of the paper online for free so if there is something in the head lines I can go get one if I need to.

It's a generational thing.  When my kids are older who knows what'll be around!

Think all ages could use them...a mix of all the different formats make things interesting....  just to use only one  such as an ipad  would be boring

I still like reading the newspaper and not online.  I use the newspaper for when I paint.  Many uses for newspaper.  Especially washing windows and use the newspaper to dry them off.  Its the ink in the newspaper that makes the windows shine without any streaks.

I haven't bought a newspaper in many years. I don't plan to either. I get my news paper delivered to my inbox. My parents still read the old paper newspaper.

I don't get the newspaper. It's mostly ads now.
