THE FUTURE OF CYBORG NEWS
Mergers
Today, there are many examples of the Internet and media combining to provide news on the World Wide Web. The future of the Internet depends on the people who will use it. News also depends on what people do.
Today, young adults will continue to use the Internet as a "social and communication medium." But as they get older, they will use it for more important reasons (Miller). Because of this potential audience, more business will continue to be conducted on the Internet. It is entirely possible that business will be conducted on the Internet only in the future.
"Old body orientation notions of arms length suppliers and identifiable, territorial corporations are giving way to cyborgian notions of transnational webs of licensing, consulting, outsourcing, distributing."
--Gray and Mentor, Cyborg Handbook, 460.
Some businesses will continue to exist outside of the Web, but the trend is to get on the Web. News will need the Web in order to be competitive. Cyborg will use the news that is easy to use and load.
