We subscribe to nothing
January 22nd 2008 09:00
Ah the subscription- the easy way to get your paper delivered or feel as if you're part of an orgnaisation. Well not anymore apparently, it would seem the future world leaders that are Generation Y are not interested in something as permanent but oh so easy as a subscription. Comics? Keep them. The paper? For what? And E-news letters? Please, don't bother us again. Yup, turns out we're Hell bent on making the subscription feature redundant.
Okay, well it's not that we think subscribing to things is so completely pointless; it's just that the things that offer subscriptions are not, by any stretch of the imagination, worth it. Most of us don't read the paper- sad but true. We may or may not get the Sunday paper but chances are our reading of it is anything but thorough. We might read the headlines and anything else that takes our fancy, skip to our favorite section and then into the recycling bin it goes. And the same goes for magazines, sort of. We might occasionally buy one, but chances are there isn't one that we think is work getting every weekly or monthly copy of, so there goes that money grabbing idea. As for online subscriptions, we really don't see the point. All the latest information is at our fingertips thanks to search engines and if we really like something we can stick it in favorites.
So there you have it, we are a generation of non-subscribers. The End.
