Question

19．Sometime in the next century，the familiar early morning newspaper on the front porch will disappear．And instead of reading your newspaper，it will read to you．You'll get up and turn on the computer newspaper just like switching on the TV．An electronic voice will read stories about the latest events，guided by a program that selects the type of news you want．You'll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear．Want more information on the brief story？A simple touch makes the entire text appear．Save it in your own personal computer file if you like．These are among the predictions from communications experts working on the newspaper of the future．Pictured as part of broader homebased media and entertainment systems，computer newspapers would unite print and broadcast reporting，offering news and analysis （分析） with video of news events．
    Most of the technology is available now，but convincing more people that they don't need paper to read a newspaper is the next step．Resistance （阻力） to computer newspapers may be stronger from within journalism．Since it is such a cultural change，it may be that the present generation of journalists and publishers will have to die off before the next generation realizes that the newspaper industry is no longer a newspaper industry．Technology is making the end of traditional newspapers unavoidable．
    Despite technological advances，it could take decades to replace newsprint with computer screens．It might take 30 to 40 years to complete the changeover because people need to buy computers and because newspapers have established financial interests in the paper industry．
