And should worrying be the right way of approaching these changes? I guess we can ponder on these things a little more.Hector Bryant L.

I mean, ours in particular has some areas only accessible by radio. It's possible that in countries like ours, only "the elite" or the Internet-savvy (which, truth be told, excludes more than half the population) will eschew print media in favor of blogs.<BR/><BR/>Also, I agree with Tin in that people will always turn to the print medium, or at least established media to verify such things. It's like that debate on books versus Internet sources--the academe would still much prefer published, musty books as resources, since those at least have gone through the editing process.<BR/><BR/>As for the business side of things, well, wala talaga akong masabi dun. hahaha.<BR/><BR/>(Wheee)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15501969.post-29191526744236403162007-07-15T15:03:00.000+08:002007-07-15T15:03:00.000+08:00hahaha! parang "The Others" talaga. haha.

Print will find a way to survive. just like truth. cheka!<BR/><BR/>hi sir!! :)scrawlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17780544282872151782noreply@blogger.com
