You can’t teach old dogs new tricks. The world’s oldest newspaper which was founded in 1645 only went digital this year—January 1, 2007.

I would understand his sentimental feeling, but if the world live on sentiments then transition to advancements would become very difficult. In a lot of circumstances—movement from one office location to another, working in another environment, process changes, etc. people initially resist change arguing the need to stay in their old state; but as time goes by, people would begin to realize new challenges and importance of the changes made.

Necessity

A lot of things change in life and it is no longer a question of accepting the change but rather the timing of the change. For the oldest newspaper in the world—Why only change now?
