MY  TAKE :

Ø  Next Generation Newspaper ? ……………………………[  21   Mar   2016  ]

 

Extract :

 

Hence , it is only a matter of time before you experience following scenario :

 

 

*  Your paper newspaper gets replaced by a plain white LED embedded and internet connected sheet of

 

    Plastic ( fold-able too )

 

  

 

*  Every morning , unfold it , and touch on a icon at the top bearing the name of your desired news-source (

 

    Publication / TV Channel / Web site etc )

 

 

*  Touch a Subject Icon ( Politics / Sports / Entertainment / Economics  etc )

 

 

Voila  !

 

All - and the only news , you ever cared to read - will instantly appear on that plastic !

 

 

Without advertisements , if you so desire

 

 

And where , touching on any NAME of any person ( or of any organization ) , appearing anywhere , will enable

 

you to,

 

 

*  Read out / record your message , or

 

*  On a virtual keyboard , type out your message

 

 

A long press on the name will reveal ALL the messages ever sent to that person ( or that Organization ) , in a

 

reverse chronological order

 

 

If any message is a spoken message , the " News-Plastic " ( cannot call it " paper " ), will read it back to you

 

 

Now , those targeted recipients ( of the messages ) will  receive those messages on their own " News-Plastic " ,

 

under an icon called , IN-BOX

 

 

Of course , nothing stops them from " long press " on their own name appearing in the news article and find

 

out what other readers are trying to convey - and in what context

 

 

If  a person's name appears anywhere in the news , in his own " News Plastic ", it will be highlighted in RED

 

Color

 

 

No need for me to search those Email IDs in Google !

 

 

For those who worry about invasion of personal privacy , I quote onetime CEO of Sun Microsystems , Scot

 

McNealy who , in 1999 said :

 

 

" Privacy is dead , so get over it "

 

 

All that we can hope is that it is an Indian Start Up which comes out with " News Plastic "

 

 

I hope news paper industry remembers Ted Levitt's  ( Marketing Myopia ) :

 

 

" If you don't obsolete yourself , someone else will "

 

 

 

With regards,

Hemen Parekh

Ø  Redesigning Newspapers ?............................. [  23  May  2016  ]

 

Extract :

 

With arrival of dozens of news-aggregating Mobile Apps , hard copy news-papers are in danger of getting " extinct "

 

 

What will news-papers look like 5 years from now ?

 

 

Here is my prediction :

 

 

#   All news will become digital

 

#   These may appear on your bed-room wall or on a foldable blank sheet of

 

      plastic ( display device ) , whenever you choose to ignore your Mobile .

 

 

      Of course , VR device makers would want you to wear a headset  !

 

 

Now comes the FUN part  !

 

 

Currently , most hard-copy news papers group their news on pages titled :

 

 

City  /  Nation  /  Global - International / Sports / Politics / Entertainment etc

 

 

Tomorrow's digital news will get aggregated under following genres :

 

 

Scam /  Fraud  /  Fiction-like  /  Irony / Insult / Arrogance / Hope / Reform / Red Herring / Shame / Bravo / Future / Ego / Introspection / Ridicule / Bravado / Boasting / Insensitive / Scorn / One-up-man ship / Holier-than-Thou / Absurd / Tongue-in-Cheek / Laugh / Deja Vu ...........etc
