    • Time Layoffs: Another Death Knell For Print Media? [view article]
      Hard copy will never die and print is a long way from extiniction. To this day the computer revolution maxum "paperless office" has never materialized. In fact, computers have been responsible for generating more paper than ever before. In 1970 no one except writers and business people bought paper by the ream to today everyone does! No, sir, in 1970 they bought little plastic wrap stacks of 50 sheets for their typewriter work. Today no household is complete without a 3 in 1 Fax, Printer, Copier and burning back up of communications and data to CD-R and DVD-R is first nature. The media business, however, is changing as evident by the drop in commercial CDs and with on demand downloads, of which Amazon is a leader and I buy some that way, storing them on DVD-R in case my hard drive fries, the DVD will face a sales lag in the near future. Ipods have replaced the CD driven walkman and flash media has dropped in price from $60 a GB to $16 a GB in just two years. Everyone is going to have to adjust to a new way of doing things. Distant learning is on the rise, homeschooling is up over 8% and expected to double by 2020. Expect to see cable TV go extinct as internet TV takes over and I'm a fan. I watch NBC, CBS and ABC re-runs on demand on my computer when I want to and that's better and cheaper than TVIO. Feb 25 10:15 AM
