Last year, while attending a lecture by noted technology guru, Alan November, there was discussion and concern about the decline of the newspaper industry, punctuated by fears for the book industry too. Well, those concerns were justified, but the sentiments were all wrong. Indeed, these industries are changing, but all for the better. Just ask anyone who owns a Kindle or Ipod Touch or Iphone. The customer is now in control. Welcome to the 21st Century!
For those who like to be frightened on this upcoming Halloween, I thought you might like to revisit this curious flash movie that was originally created in 2004. Its foresight is more than a bit eerie! Now that Amazon delivers the NY Times electronically, via the Kindle e-book reader, the future in here.
Enjoy.
