Is Digital Publishing The Way Of The Future?

It’s no secret that the world is changing and digital technology is completely to blame. Weather its an iPad, iPhone, Android or tablet. If you don’t have one you might as well be living in the stone ages. But is this a good thing or a bad thing? Yes its wonderful how technology has evolved from the 10 stone square brick you used to have perched on your computer desk. However it appears these new revolutionary little gadgets are quickly taking over the world. There is quite literally an app for everything these days, from buying a new dress on Asos, ordering a pizza from dominos, socialising on Facebook and even finding the love of your life on Tinder. Has it all just got out of hand? Why buy DVDs when you can stream it in HD on your laptop? Why go to the shops when you can buy anything you like at a mere click of a finger? Why go to the newsagent and buy a magazine when you can see all the latest fashions via social media and online mags for free? This is the question industry experts have been asking themselves. Is digital publishing taking over? Is this the end for magazines? In my opinion there will always be a high demand for fashion magazines. Most women, and some men, love to sit down with a cup of tea submerged in a glossy magazine, slowly turning the pages getting there monthly/weekly/daily fashion fix. Reading a magazine is a whole experience, an escape from reality, and I feel that is something the Internet will never be able to offer us.
