Mark sent this along the other day... in solidarity with our ink-stained-scribbler friends who are suffering in the dead-tree media industry...

This is a re-post from C. Slaughter.  The math and their calculations have changed over time ("2 hours to download" and "5 dollars a minute"), but otherwise they got it quite right.  I guess most other newspapers did not watch television in 1981???

Pew researchers have graphed out the death of newspapers as a medium of information.  Having purchased my first drum kit, bicycle, and car from the profits of delivering this dirty method of information (can you get black-lung from ink?) I bid a fond farewell to the paper and ink.  The demise of newspapers also raises a few other questions.  What will we wrap our fish and chips in?  What will teenagers do for pocket money?  How will we dry our shoes?
