“Technical innovations will change the future
of newspapers. Computers and mobile
handsets double their capacity every nine
months. This allows media companies to
continuously introduce new and improved
services. New technical innovations and
improvements also drive change in human
behaviour. Today, teens must be connected to
their friends at all times. Their technical
devices become part of their personal identity.
As a result, teens carry a potential distribution
channel for news and entertainment with them
at all times.”
