Will Social Media Networks Make Television News Obsolete?

Social media networks are more popular than ever before. These networks have also made filtering in/out information or news an unconscious routine. 

This is when we, the user, can quickly skim information that we seek out as opposed to being exposed to a variety of daily news via print literature or television news programs. This very point has hurt the institution of the newspapers tremendously and will make television news obsolete because society can and will get there news quickly by accessing the internet to skim headlines and news stories that satisfy our beliefs or point-of-views.

Should we, the online society, be cautious o nthe new format of receiving news our information? Or, will we just choose to ignore the consequences just like we did on the effects of technology on a society?

According to theorist like Neil Postman, we will probably ignore any sign of negative consequences because we are too naive to believe such a medium (books, radio, television, any technological device) would effect the quality of a culture. 

The facts and history will tell us otherwise, but we still choose to ignore these facts and focus on the entertaining quality of anything we encounter in life. 

I am not a fan of television news due to formatted style and the break from print and the institution of the newspapers. However, I would whether receive my daily news from the television as oppose to re-tweeted emotional, irrelevant "baby talk" opinions (PPPPostman) that is produced from social media networks.

As Shakesphere would ask,
 1.) To filter or not to filter?

 2.) To read via print literate or not to read?

 3.) To skim headlines or not to skim?

 4.) To post emotional opinions or not to post?

And, the list goes on, folks.
