This is a brand new trailer for a movie called Page One: Inside the New York Times. This movie depicts the exact thing that we have been talking about in class and that is discussed in "Rainbow's End." The New York Times will go out of business unless they adapt to the surge of technology. Do we need newspapers anymore? Do we need media outlets for the news? How do media outlets stay current and compete? All these questions are especially pertinent when thinking about the recent news of Osama Bin Ladin. Most people found out about Osama's death via "Twitter" or "Facebook." Their was a record set of more than 3,400 tweets per second on Twitter! SIDENOTE: Do you know who according to twitter was the first person to tweet about Osama Bin Ladin's death? That's right you guessed it Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson! Our world is dramatically changing. My generation primarily gets news from comedy central shows like "The Daily Show" or "The Colbert Repot." Entertainment news like "TMZ","ET", and "Good Morning America" is the way of the future. If these communication mediums don't adapt to a technological world they will become obsolete.

Super interesting application. Thanks for sharing!
All these questions are really interesting and I hope its something we go more in depth on in class. I subscribe to the NYT and on Monday the paper outside my door didn't even mention OBL's death, it happened too late for it to make press. As someone who loves the newspaper it really made me wonder why I was still getting it.
