This is a fun TV news excerpt from 1981 (1981!!!!) that talks about the end of the newspaper and how it will be replaced by the computer. Techcrunch posted this earlier this month, but I just found it again, and thought it would be neat to post. I stole the title of this post from typographer David Carson’s book of the same name, kind of as a tongue in cheek move (because print will never die, though, many folks are sounding the death knell for print communications). However, as a graphic/Web designer turned developer turned strategist and also a letterpress printer, I know all too well the argument for Web over print, though I haven’t had much opinion with regard to the demise of newspapers. It’s sad, because I’m sentimental, but outmoded things make way for the new in our society; such is the cycle of progress. Anyhow,this is a fun and interesting video that shows just how far things have come.
