The things Andrew McAfee is talking about are very interesting.
As I wrote in my reflection over the articel "The year of the paywall" we live in a technological world that is constantly evolving. McAfee confirmes that thesis and he also says that we have gone from involving people to only use droids.
Something else I thought was interesting was the gap between jobs and working age population which was very big and according to McAfee the gap is only just bigger and bigger. This is the part that scares me a little because what are all humans going to do with their lifes if technology takes over all the jobs? We can´t just sit at home and do nothing and how are going to earn money? I don´t think like McAfee that this i going to reduce poverty but I belive this is going to make the world a harsher place. Sure some jobs are maybe better of being controlled by droids such as truckdriving and cabdriving then there are going to be fewer casualties in traffic but overall I belive droids only going to create more problems instead of taking care of the problems.

Reflection on the article "The year of the paywall"
This was a very interesting article to read and it brought up things that just made it clearer in which direction our society is heading towards.
That advertisers flocks around the cheaper alternatives are not so chocking but the amount of payment newspaper have lost was a big suprise. It´s about time the newspaper starts to evolve with the rest of world.
I think with a raise of 5% in circulation revenue and a 10% decrease of newspapers shows that the newspapermarket is starting to adapt towards the new conditions with paywalls and hopefully in the end acclimatized enough to get through these harsh times.
So to conclude it all: We live in a technological and Internet based world where everything constantly evolving and cost money. Probably in a not to distant future we have seen the end of one era of newspaper and the start of a new one.
Byebye good oldfashion newspaper!
