People to lose interest in television by 2020

PanARMENIAN.Net - 70% of New-York Times news items are materials of other news agencies, Ukrainian Professor and communication technology expert George Pocheptsov told a news conference in Yerevan. People are no longer interested in papers, he said. "Newspapers are of no interest for the generation of the 1980s-90s, and by 2020, televisions will become obsolete too. With no TV, we'll find ourselves in a kind of obscure world," Professor stressed.



At that he noted that information agencies will be unable to protect copyright since Internet appears out of legal domain. "Estonia is searching for legal grounds for bringing Internet on legal domain while Ukraine has attempted to register Internet publications," Pocheptsov stressed.



Ukrainian professor expressed his negative attitude to Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) as its effectiveness has not yet been proven by concrete examples.



Professor George Pocheptsov is the author of more than 50 books on the theory of information warfare and theory of communication. He has been invited to Armenia by Head of Presidential Staff's PR Department and Armenian Public Relations Association (APRA).
