Communication Breakdown
There was a time when the typewriter ruled the print media world. Said world is going the way of the typewriter. Its epitaph is written everywhere, except on physical paper. Community papers are the only newspapers making money these days, because people want to know who won the high school football game last night. Many are aggressively competing with the big city papers, forcing these publications to adapt—feature more specialized articles, quickly rev up an interactive website, or hold on and decimate the seasoned writing staff. “Don’t know web publishing?” Then it’s “do I know you?”
Book and magazine publishers better stay ahead of the curve, also; digital magazines that update continually and books with automatic edition renewing hit shelves soon.
As personal service plummets, interactivity mounts; manufacturers will have to replace personnel with artificial intelligence to make consumers comfortable again. Despite the brave new world’s exploding population, there are fewer personal touches; business is brisk and often faceless, so technology has to take over. Imagine if you didn’t have to send a greeting card because a server already signed, sealed, and delivered it. Myspace and Facebook already alert users to buddies’s birthday. It’s happening; witness all the abandoned Northeastern U.S. paper mills.
