f you are reading this article on a printed copy of the Guardian, what you have in your hand will, just 15 years from now, look as archaic as a Western Union telegram does today. In less than 50 years, according to Clay Shirky, it won't exist at all. The reason, he says, is very simple, and very obvious: if you are 25 or younger, you're probably already reading this on your computer screen. "And to put it in one bleak sentence, no medium has ever survived the indifference of 25-year-olds."

OTOH, there's something to be said for not living in "interesting times".
Would you rather see headlines like:
North Korean army massing on border
Bat flu death toll soars
Large asteroid on collision course with Earth
etc

Sh!t like that will soon become part of the national curriculum:
2015 A-Level Sociology
Q1. In 2010, Lady Cole suffered a serious affliction whilst judging the UK's annual singing contest with Lord Cowell.
What affliction did she suffer and who ultimately went on to win the contest?
Q2. Lady GaGa - Original maverick or just a shallow copy of Queen Madonna?
Discuss. Additional marks will be awarded for drawings of her outfits.
Q3. Frankie Goes to Hollywood
Did he ever get there?

The times has dumbed down bigtime and I'd get the telegraph only for it's a bitch to read on the train every day

X Factor to show Cheryl Cole's malaria collapse
Scotland defends Lockerbie bomber release
Mohamad's early red card sets Bundesliga record
John James tells of love for Josie
From Glamour To Geek: Hollywood's New Hero
British soldier shot dead in Afghanistan
Man shot dead in back garden
'Britain's most disgusting person' at large
Clegg denies Lib Dems 'damaged' by coalition
Police plan for demo despite marches ban
Perhaps I'm old fashioned, but I have no idea who John James or Josie are and nor do I want to, I don't give a flying left b*llock about Cheryl Cole, articles about law and order are in last place, the death of a young man fighting for our country warrants a middle ranking - probably because last nights Big Brother eviction is now very old news and they needed something to fill the space.
I'll stop now, but it does really annoy me.
