In today's world, the young generation prefers to know
news
 from other sources rather than reading
newspapers
 or watching them on
Tv
. In my opinion, I believe
this
 is due to the fact that they rely on the internet to keep themselves updated with the latest
news
.
This
 essay will thoroughly discuss the cause of that and will
also
 put forward some suggestions to encourage them to
use
 old methods. It is beyond any doubt that young people are using the new technology as their main source to know current events not only in the locality but
also
 globally. Because they were born in the era of technology.
Although
 TVs are still available in their houses, they learned to
use
 computers and smartphones to access the world at school.
For instance
, my children neither learned to read physical
newspapers
 nor followed
news
 on
TV
 at school.
However
 some prefer to know
news
 using traditional methods, minors do not follow traditional ways and prefer to
use
 computers and smartphones
instead
. There are many ways to encourage young people to read physical papers and to see
news
 on
TV
.
For example
, schools could be used as a platform to upsurge the awareness towards reading physical
newspapers
 that could enrich young people's vocabulary and
also
 encourage them to follow
news
 on
TV
 so that they can share their thoughts with others and to socialize more with their beloved family since they would watch the
news
 together. In conclusion, reading
newspapers
 and following
news
 on
TV
 is increasingly unpopular among certain individuals specifically young persons.
This
 is because they prefer to rely on the new technology as a main source of
news
.
This
 essay suggested that schools should encourage them to
use
 old traditional ways to follow
news
 so that they can learn more vocabulary from reading
newspapers
 and they
also
 can socialize more by watching the
news
 on
TV
 with others.
