I disagree in so many ways

1. The web was the "THING" to get into. There was lots of money to blow lots of people took it in school. The bubble has burst. Reality has set in. I know you'd all like the web to be everything but it isn't. One day it will be but it's got to compel people to dump print. Companies thought we build it they will come!
2. Can we depend on corporations for anyhting but to make profits. Innovate? Destroy all those millions of dollars of print equipment for what? It's making money
3. If these people had some print skills they would be able to do both. I think print is ignored way too much. It will not go away and they are looking desparately for skilled people. A word to the out of work web people learn some print skills there are lots of jobs.

Good point.

I'm not sure about the logic here, though: "mega-media conglomerates have the deepest pockets...it's incumbent on them to lead the way..." - it's pretty tough to argue that there's any imperative for any corporation to suffer financial losses (it's sole reason for existence being to acheive the greatest financial gain possible). Shaky ground, that.

Great article, nonetheless, online content kicks ass! I admit I find it hard to see the profit-potential, since there's so much free content being created on the web every day by people on their own spare time...hmmm.

I should think some more,

John
