The Death of Printed Media.
I consider myself a very tech-savvy person, but I’m not really enthused about everything going “digital”.
For example, I just bought a hockey almanac. I’m sure hockeydb or wikipedia could provide all the information within, but you just can’t beat the cross-referencing you can do with physical media.
Want to know how many points your latest free-agent signing had in 2001 in the Swedish league?
Look it up in the player section.
The idea might sound trite, but I think a newspaper that was digital instead of printed on dead tree would be super. I know it’s been tried and they’re working on the bendable LCD technology now.
I would envision an RSS style newspaper, where you decide what news you give two craps about, and then only get that. This would solve two problems, staying current, and still being 3-d and physical.
I sound like Timothy Leary right now.
