[QUOTE="JohnRTroy, post: 5460189, member: 2732"] While I doubt paper will "disappear", I do think there's a lot of people who say "there will always be X" as being somewhat myopic. Lots of popular forms of entertainment expressions have either died or changed over time, as either technology or culture evolved. Here are some examples: Vaudeville. Medicine Shows Minstrel Shows Music Halls/Concert Saloons. Jukeboxes Tab Shows Silent Film It stands to reason that any form of entertainment is not immune to changes in civilization, technology, or culture. That's why I think there will be major changes in the RPG as we know it over the next few decades, and in other forms of entertainment (newspapers are dying, and I have a feeling the regular comic strip as well as the traditional [Western] comic book will disappear in the next decade or two).
