While I too believe print will stay with us, do you, or any others on this
list, see print being reserved for a more limited range of materials...
As I mentioned before on this list...one of our faculty who has been
working with microbial cellulose. He has this idea that it can replace the
newspaper. His material can be very thin and used like paper...and can be
manufactured so it can be used to display digital images...so before you
go to sleep you could plug in your cellulose newspaper and have it
download the news, unplug it as you walk out the door and then read it on
the bus.
Similarly, what about CDs (or whatever) versus downloads?
