With today’s technology everyone can stay connected with any one person or group around the world.  We can know what is happening on the other side of the world in real time by watching news broadcasting stations on television and then read the full story in the newspaper the next day.  People read newspapers and magazines, and watch the daily news on television in order to stay connected and become aware of what is going on in the world and the society that we live in.  As society becomes more adjusted to the use of technology and things being digitized, more and more newspapers and magazines are being offered online while still being able to receive a physical copy in order to keep up to date on events going on around the world.  However one receives their daily news of events that are happening, we are still able to stay connected as a society with each other around the globe and our advancement in technology allows for this connection to be kept.  Represented here are the two cities Chicago and San Francisco made from newspaper and magazine pages that can be found both online and in the physical format that includes stories and information going on in multiple parts of the world.
