It's more a cultural thing. The next generation is growing up without newspapers in their hand. But you can't say the same for books. The one thing I truly think saving print is the gossip mags. Those things would probably survive an all-out nuclear assault, let alone us internet geeks! I think that’s more true for books than newspapers. It’s more a cultural thing.

Even though the railroads aren't as dominant as they were 100 years ago, they still exist for several uses and probably always will. Newspaper circs will continue to decrease, but the fact that (a) there's just something official about text on newspaper, and (b) you can read the newspaper on the toilet, they will never truly go away.
