Sillimanian is advantageous not only to the staff working on it but also to the readers. When students of the University answered a recent survey on the proposal of publishing tWS entirely online, different opinions and choices were stated. “Going online means keeping up with the technology, also lesser use of paper and we don’t need to pay for the printing” fourth year Mass Communication student explained.

Printed newspaper solely publishes in black and white, which is not attractive and gives lesser details of the pictures. When viewed online, you can actually see them in color, and also more vividly.

From this statement we can understand that there are numbers of attractive information piled on one page, people have a hard time choosing which one to read, resulting them to skim and jump to one another. From these couple examples, it can be concluded that the author of this essay is strongly attempting to convince the readers in his idea of internet disturbing people’s concentration.

The Bible can transcend time, and newer versions use writing to elicit emotional responses. A newspaper does not. A newspaper’s job is to act as an informative source for the present. Information is based on prominence and is only in the paper for as long as it’s relevant.
