DeWese--Consulting the "Real" Experts on the Death of Printing

After four days of counting my mail, I'm saying to myself, "The Internet is killing printing? Where did Mr. Venture Capital Idiot get his information?" Nine of the catalogs I'd received were from dotcom "e-tailing" companies. This got me to thinking even more about past history (I'm a 57-year-old guy and I've got a lot of past history to remember). I remembered that the experts had said TV would kill radio. Then I remembered that the fax machine was predicted to kill the U.S. mail system—this was back around 1977. Then I remembered that credit cards would lead to a cashless and checkless society by 1984.
