The future has been told and the writing is on the wall. The article couldn't be more accurate from the way I see things going. I for one couldn't agree more. Kudos to the author -- we need more of your stuff.
My cousin owned a small town newspaper and experienced the first shockwave of the digital revolution - about 1968, it seems. He lamented losing the smell of ink and the compression of the paper under the type. Small accomodation, it seemed to me. My print artist friends make similar comments thirty years later. A greater accomodation. I am a mechanical engineer who championed the transitioned from pencil on paper to bytes, but I sense that someting important is lost in the process. My designs are no longer internalized they way they once were. I no longer "feel" the design. Something is lost, but is it meaningful?
There's a distancing that comes from digitalization but no question of it, the digital revolution is upon us and I want to be a part of it. It's more efficient. How did they say it ten years ago - faster, smarter, cheaper? Still, I wonder.

Niche, huh.
