Google Economist Explains Why You Won't Pay For Online News

Google Economist Explains Why You Won't Pay For Online News: "Overall newspaper circulation has been in decline since 1990, 'well before the Internet,' Hal Varian noted, while newspaper circulation crossed against the nation's population has been declining since 1960; and circulation per household has been dropping since -- wait for it -- 1945. You can't blame the Web for that."

This does not seem unusual in the world of the internet the article states but people have become less interested in the newspapers as they reported very little that was of interest to the general public, way back in the early 1990`s and it is only over the last few years people have become more aware of the world.

But my view of the period before this date and 1945 you can only look at the war years and the affect it had on the paper industry and l do understand that people see the internet and news on-line as more interactive with people in other parts of the world,but l do agree people will not pay for news on-line as people like me are building their own news networks.

aceone29 commented on The Lock That Says ‘Pick Me’: "As we become more and more vulnerable to attacks from malware that has been re-adjusted to integrate even the most security concious system, most administrators admit it is an uphill battle. Some say that it is the the white hats versus the black hats or as l would call it good versus evil. Though it is up to us to be more vigilant when we are on-line, but one suggestion goes as far as to say to protect your data by being off-line. As some of you are aware many companies including Google offer off-line facilities in either Gmail or Reader l use both and find them very useful but also have it connected to Google Gears to enable better synchronisation of my data.

But the best way and l have found is a full spyware and virus checks at logging on and off plus regular 2 hourly checks being initiated on privacy, spyware and virus and l still find small items but them are found early rather than late.

My philosophy is " Prevention Is Better Than Cure " thanks for reading.
