1) why has google led to the decline of the newspaper industry?
The internet allows newspapers to be streamed on the internet for free, therefore people may prefer to read the newspapers on the internet rather than buying the actual newspaper. Furthermore having newspaper on the internet would lead to up to date news allowing the public to keep up with the would as events are happening. in addition because the internet is accessible anywhere (eg on the phone ect.) it is more convenient therefore people prefer reading the newsapaper on the internet rather than buying the actual newspaper.
2)Do you personally think that google is to blame for newspapers closing and journalists losing their job? why?
No I dont think google is to blame because google is not the internet. However i dont think the internet is to blame, i think it is us as a society evolving and i think the newspaper industry should come up with schemes hat would help them evolve with the rest of society or they will continue to go out of business. in conclusion google isn't to blame but the newspaper industries lack of strategical thinking .

Disagree
this person thinks that the everything on the internet should cost something in order to compensate creators I agree with him to some extent because most creators don't get credited for their work as a result don't get as much as they should because of how accessible the internet is. However the reason the internet is so successful is because it is free allowing anyone no matter the financial state to have access to it making everybody equal, and if the internet start charging for everything this would cause a divide between the middle class and the working class as a result making eveything on the internet more conservative, this means that the internet wouldn't be able to show a broad range of opinions which in the long run can effect the society politically.
