    Here's a pretty interesting 8 minute Flash presentation from the Museum of Media History in the year 2014 (is that Twenty-Fourteen, or Two Thousand and Fourteen??). I thought it was pretty cool, and the hypothetical situation it proposes isn't improbable, which raises interesting questions about the real benefits of the information age.

    What do y'all think?

    Eh, it should pay attention to its "sensatalist writer" tripe. It could happen. Unlikely... also the NYT survived without being on the net so why do only the elite and elderly read it in 9 years time ?
