Must be an iPhone shot? We love the comics, too. Will it be a Kindle? iPhone? Personal HUD in the corner of the eye? Ah, who knows.

Actually, taken last year with my trust old Palm Treo 650. For son, it will be different. I still love my morning paper... too ingrained in my morning routine, I suppose.

I'm thinking it'll be some sort of foldable circuit fabric. It will support...
- full color
- downloadable content via wifi/wimax/345G-wi-whatever

They'll have run out of "G" by then. It will be like 47P.

The morning paper here was replaced by Google News, a Twitter look-through, RSS reading, and emails ;-)

When I go out for lunch, I'll sometime's stick a quarter in the newspaper dispenser to read while I eat.

I almost feel I'm obliged to since I work in the newspaper business.

I said 'almost'.

CNN.com is where I get all my news. Then if there's a story of interest, I can cross reference it with other online media outlets. If you think about it, using the internet for news can be a far more balanced and accurate approach - a diversity of qualified opinions are at your fingertips.

andy120 - Quite true - a lot of people who see all the news through only one source have a kind of forced-myopic view of the world, filtered through the lens of the local media organization. Local papers can be quite relevant and helpful for local news, but for a better perspective on the world, why not aggregate your news? :-)

I think a lot of people will be reading their news on web-connected e-ink type devices. In the future they will be bendable, indestructible, with full color and motion capabilities. They're high contrast makes them ideal for reading in broad daylight and they're much easier on the eyes than LED,LCD,OLED,whatever-ED technologies.

Soon we'll have the Microsoft Surface integrated on kitchen/dining tables, so your son will access the news by touching the appropriate news feed while eating breakfast.
