Subscription for the nation's top five newspapers (newyork times, wallstreet journal, USA Today, Boston Globe) are up. Both of my hometown newspapers are still going strong. This is because people have a want to have something they can hold. People may "get" their first news from the internet but the in depth stff is still in magazines and newspapers.  Theyve had to change their advertising model, but they will survive. There's a really cool professor I used to hve and still get a chance to hear speak regularlly who talks about how people have been quoting the death of newspapers for 20 years.  As a fan of good investigative journalism, lets hope he's right.  Back to the subject (tyiing it together), people liketo feel and touch a product and this will take at least a generation or more to get rid of.  Else we'd all have a society without paper money. I just don't see people not wanting to get together to play dungeons and dragons.Heck, even with online gaming people still have lan parties because they love the social aspect.  thousands of people meet up at conventions just to play mmorpgs together.</blockquote>
