Question

The rapid growth of Smartphones and electronic tablets（平板電腦）is making the Internet favourite for Americans reading news, a report said.

News consumption online increased 17% last year from the year before. Television news, newspapers, radio and magazines all lost audience last year. For the first time, the number of people who get news online at least three times a week is larger than the number of people who get news from the newspapers. TV news has been the most popular since the 1960s. It has replaced the afternoon newspapers. But now the online news seems to be more popular than the TV news.

People are used to having the Internet available on phones or small tablets. In December, 2010, 41% of Americans said they got most of their news on the Internet, more than double the 17% who said that a year earlier, the report said. In January, 2011, 7% of Americans owned electronic tablets, nearly double what it was three months earlier. It was the fastest-growing new digital technology, ahead of mobile phones when they were introduced. The online ad income was expected to surpass（超過(guò)）print newspaper ad income for the first time in 2010.

The news business used to be the intermediary（中介）. You needed newspapers and TV stations to reach your customers. In this age of the computer, it’s the software developers that you need.
