As a proponent, participant and willing adopter of the coming changes
to the publishing industry, I just thought I'd link to this article. I
hate the word "futurologist" because no one can study what
has not happened yet, but it's interesting nonetheless.
Gist of
article: The publishing industry is changing, barriers are crashing
down, magazines are going out of business in tech-savvy places and tech-savvy demographics. We'll see way less paper and way more
content. This is, on the whole, a great thing for consumers, a good
thing for the environment, and a terrible thing for the established
publishing industry.
So, have a read, I don't think it's 'futurology' but I do think it's prescient.

I do agree that print in the traditional sense will have to find a way to adapt as computers and faster internet speeds become more ubiquitous. Currently I only receive the Sunday and Thursday papers as those days have coupons for groceries in them. The other days I get my news through the web. Plenty magazine also offers an "online only" subscription for a discounted price. I like the idea of online magazine subscriptions, less clutter, less waste, and it will be easier to create enriched content by including music, video etc.
