Radio was to be the death of books

While we always want to believe that the new, cooler medium will kill an older medium, it’s actually very hard to kill a communications method.  Heck, we even have morse code in a limited form today.

While I see where trade mags certainly work better online, I doubt that they will die.  Be reborn, find a new nitch, yes.  Die, go away, no.

I will say that as you mentioned in the interview, CES 2007 was awesome for bloggers.  While I don’t think that old mediums will die easily, new mediums such as videocasts, podcasts and blogs will grow at exponential rates.

Just my humble opinion.
