Curated e-newspaper

  

Indeed it’s the time where digital media rules and all are stepping towards e-reading.

Having said that, it’s also true, reading a physical news-paper in morning with a cup of hot coffee or tea is a special feeling.

Oh boy, we forget. Global warming, the evergreen buzz word, how can we forget that?  To have physical paper we need to cut trees and waste pure water in aplenty. So (or we all) are against that. So what do we do?

You might have heard of curated web, similarly why can not we have a curated e-papers?  A customized new paper brings only that news in which we are interested. It can be local news, sports, education, events, arts related, innovation, science, technology front; end of my thinking capacity!

All users will have at least one custom profile; they will insert the magic-sheet [refer the definition below] into the printer and they select their profile and print the paper. It will also be possible to read those contents in your laptop, mobile, iPad, tablet and blah blah blah.

This opens up a news arena for advertising, advertisements will go only to those guys who are interested in specific fields. Say as an engineer I am interested in technical gadgets and I am subscribed to the technical news; being a leading Smartphone maker, Samsung will be happy to push his advertisement column to me rather than giving it to a person who have technophobia.  This method improves their hit-ratio and reach-to-apt-audience; ensures the value-for-money.

Now what?! As you know, every company spends a huge amount for public presence and advertisements. If they can achieve what they are targeting with lesser money, then they would cut-down the product price.   Sounds good. Isn’t it?

So why can’t we have one?

Technical description (rather expectation)

Magic-sheet:

It is made up of artificial components, decomposable, degradable, and recyclable.  It changes its color to white, to make it suitable for better reading, when a specific amount of heat, electricity or X (can be any thing) passes though it, like the dial in digital watches, only few portions turn dark dude to crystal rearrangements when electricity pass through it.
