A survey conducted in 1972 by the American Bar Association showed that 70 percent of Americans did not have a lawyer and did not know how to find one. Yet, the American Bar Foundation stated that the number of lawyers increased from 896,000 in 1995 to 1,000,000 today. Today it is not impossible to see lawyers all over the place in the US. According to the Power of Attorneys.com, the US alone accounts for 70% of the world’s lawyers and 5% of the world’s population.

( 3 / 4927 )In todays economic times, traditional retailers are struggling to survive. Due to higher gas and food costs, a housing slump and a weaker job market, consumers have been cutting back in spending at traditional retailer stores.
In order for traditional retailers to survive, retailers have to find ways to sell the merchandise. One great way for retailers to sell is to have ecommerce web sites. According to Forrester Research, online sales have increased 17% to $204 billion in 2008 from $174.5 billion last year. This was fueled by sales of apparel, computers and autos. Moreover, ecommerce is the way to go for retailing. Furthermore, the time is now for traditional retailers to invest in ecommerce to sell merchandise and to survive.

( 3 / 4912 )There has been a 40-year decline in readers of the newspaper print editions. For example, in 1964 80 percent of American adults read a newspaper to 58 percent in 1997. 54 percent American adults read a newspaper each weekday in 2003. Analysts believe that fewer than half of adults will read the paper every day by the end of the decade (Crosbie, 2004).
The declining readership statistics of print editions is becoming worse for young people.
Surveys predict that the young people will not read print editions when they grow older. Times have changed. At one time it was accepted that people would read the newspaper, as they grow older. However, fewer people in there 20s read the newspaper. Young adults are less interested in the newspaper. For instance, 44.6 percent of young adults read a newspaper each day in 1996 to only 38.5 in 2001. 39 percent of 18-34 year old read daily newspaper in 1997 compared to only 26 percent in 2001. It estimated that 9 percent of 20-29 years old would read the newspaper daily in 2010 (Crosbie, 2004).
The effects are already being felt by the newspaper industry. For instance, the combined weekday circulation for all US dailies has dropped from 62.8 million in 1985 to 55.2 million in 2002. In the years starting from the millennium, most of the US daily newspapers have witnessed their weekday circulation drop between 1-4 percent (Crosbie, 2004).
If the trends continue, the death of the printed newspaper industry will take place with our lifetime. “Meyer archly remarked, “the last daily reader will disappear in September 2043.” Most analysts predict the newspaper demise will be sooner (Crosbie, 2004).
The media business is being affected by technological change. Media companies will need to get use to it. Traditional marketing will not cut it anymore. Digital transition is the key for survival for media companies (Monica, 2006).
The time is now to have a newspaper web site. A good web design is easy to navigate, short time to display the content, and how compelling the content is. Users will not return to sites when they have to wait to download large graphics. Users expect newspaper websites to have professional and credible content with the design matching the professionalism. Presentation style can greatly impact the news information retrievals. The newspaper web site should be developed with the technological limitation of the users in mind. Highly graphic web sites will lower the news retrieval and lower the efficiency of information retrieval. A balanced web site between graphic and textual is more likely achieve higher news retrieval efficiency. Presentation style, time needed to get news items, and visual appeal have a profound impact on retrieval efficiency ( Li, 2000).

According to Marjorie Wertz For the Tribune Review, “Nationwide, 43 million households own 73.9 million dogs, while 37.7 million households are the proud owners of 90.5 million cats. Americans also own 139 million freshwater fish, 9 million saltwater fish, 16 million birds, 18 million small animals and 11 million reptiles.” Americans spend a tremendous amount of money on their pets. For example, consumers spending in 2005 will reach $35.9 billion on their pets. In contrast, consumer spending on pets a decade ago was $17 billion. On pet food alone, Americans will spend $14.5 billion, and $8.8 billion on pet supplies and over the counter medication. In addition, Americans will spend $8.6 billion for veterinarian care, $1.6 billion on the purchase of live animals and $2.4 billion for other services (Wertz, 2005).
