Journalism and Technology

I'm one of those people that you would call an "Internet-buff." I go to the Internet for everything, whether it be for recipes, weather forecast, or just simple news. Over the years, it has become my go to. Now, I find myself choosing to go to the Internet and not the newspaper sitting in my driveway. It's fascinating yet also scary how so many digital outlets are becoming the number one choice over the "originals." It also brings about the question of: If newspapers do in fact go extinct, what happens to the writers? Do they lose their jobs because of the high advancement of technology? Is technology a major factor in people losing their jobs? If we were to be honest, why do we still have newspapers if I can find exactly what I need to know in just a matter of seconds? Weather is now accessible through apps and local news can simply be found through social medias such as Facebook or even Twitter. Is technology a detriment to the journalism job field?
