In the near future，daily newspapers and monthly magazines will probably disappear. Electronic media（媒体）can provide the same information faster and cheaper. The Internet，together with laptops and mobile phones，makes it possible that almost everyone can at any time and in almost any place get some news for free or for few fees.
You'll browse the computer newspapers or magazines just like turning on TV. An electronic voice will tell you stories about the latest events. You'll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear，Want more information on the brief story？A simple touch makes the whole text appear.
There are the predictions from the experts working on the newspapers of the future. Imagined as part of home media entertainment systems，computer newspapers and magazines would unite printed and broadcast news，offering information and analyzing video images of news events.
The continuing loss of readers will lead to a small number of advertisements in newspapers. It makes no sense to spend millions of dollars to print ads.
With the development of technology，more and more electronic media have been created until now，but replacing the traditional newspapers and magazines has a long way to go，because the resistance to computer newspapers and magazines from journalism（新闻业）may be much stronger. Since it is such a cultural change，it may be not until the present journalist（新闻工作者），who aren't used to it，die off that the newspaper industry is not considered as an industry any longer. Anyway，technology is making the traditional newspapers and magazines disappear gradually.
