All tangible media is going away — it's just a matter of time


Here's an opinion piece by a Web marketer about how he thinks digital media will replace all existing media. I don't agree with everything he says, but he makes an interesting case.


Things like print newspapers and compact discs were made obsolete years ago. They are living artifacts. Digital is the master copy – we’re only waiting for the divide to bridge. It isn’t really an argument, you either can foresee the future where all information, content and forms of media are semantic, social, malleable, searchable entities or you can’t. It may take time but there is no stopping this path, it’s one of the clearer long-term trends.
