| 3 | M1: //Yeah// I dunno cause I mean I- I- I saw it on a paper I was like no one's reading those papers they should be online you know. People will get there a lot faster, no trash, no er no nothing man. It would be a lot easier if they would be online. |
| 4 | F5: No but mhm mhm I just- don't you just love it when you drink your morning coffee and you take the paper and you read it there on the... with your breakfast, d- don't you just love it? I d- I really- I do not like the... just the... internet version of //newspapers// |

| 16 | F5: I th- I heard they're gonna survive the time of the internet. |
| 17 | M1: Okay so |
| 18 | F5: But I really believe into cause there's so many, so many people who still prefer the paper. |
| 19 | M1: Oh naa I- I bet you're right on that one there's a lot- there's a huge amount of people who prefer the paper before the online version but I think that it would be a good environmental solution to put the all papers online cause there would be no paper used then and I //think em [inaudible]// |
| 20 | F5: //Yeah but you can still recycle// the paper it's really easy to recycle. |
| 21 | M1: Yeah I mean it's easy to recycle but the amount of recycling it... I don't know how big is that I mean, is everyone recycling the paper or not? |
| 22 | F5: Yeah I think about like- I think most of the people are but I dunno if you li- live at Kauniainen and you just think of yourself then I dunno maybe not. |
| 23 | M1: Maybe not. |
| 24 | F5: [laugh] |
| 25 | M1: Yeah I don't read papers anyways |
| 26 | F5: Yeah |
| 27 | M1: I only read the online versions cause I don't know that's lot quicker and you can |

| 32 | F5: //No but seriously// |
| 33 | M1: a page. |
| 34 | F5: I mean I think we need to hold on we need to stick on to the old things an- cause they are good, the- the newspaper has been for how many years? Hundreds of years. |
| 35 | M1: Mhm |
| 36 | F5: So why would we now have to dump it for this online version? I don't understand, of course it's easy if you can like check the paper in- in- on- on the tram on your way to school //or whatever// |
| 37 | M1: //Yeah yeah// that's what I mean. |
| 38 | F5: No! But that takes the whole point out of it cause |
| 39 | M1: Does it? //Does it really?// |
| 40 | F5: //It- it// really does and then you- if you just sit there in the tram looking at your phone, then you don't really pay attention wha- what else happening around you. |
| 41 | M1: Yeah you're quite right. Yeah I just should start reading those papers. |
| 42 | F5: Yes you should, good boy. |
| 43 | M1: Right. |
