Paper vs Digital

I don’t understand the idea of going all digital. I think it’s a BIG illusion or a mistake…Think about this…People pay more and more to be online but the way we are losing our jobs we won’t be able to afford to stay online ..So all this "Digital World"is going to come slamming down on us and the new headlines will say…”The internet subscribers are falling down the roof”. At Least we can manage to buy a news paper for .25 cents but staying online requires contracts or monthly Fees.....
