People often ask me to predict how long newspapers can survive in the

relevant. For example, radio evolved from something the family listens
to in the living room to something that individuals (mostly) listen to
in the car. There's some chance that newspapers could evolve in a
totally unexpected way and thrive for a hundred years. Let me paint a
picture that seems most likely to me.
