WOA 50th ANNIVERSARY -- Web's Balancing Act

Trying to make predictions about the state of affairs 50 years out probably is shear folly, but it's hard to resist speculating about the shape of the industry when the WOA's 100th anniversary rolls around. How will things have changed?

Aside from the fact that "none of us are likely to still be around," Stillo notes humorously, he predicts that in another 50 years the biggest change probably will be that "we won't be printing with equipment, paper and ink as we are today. The printed image will survive, but how it is produced will go through a process of evolution, and at a faster pace than the changes of the last 50 years."
