Well, duh.

I used to be an editor at a small-town Oregon weekly newspaper, and in 1988 I wrote an editorial boldly predicting that one day we would have the technology allowing our readers the chance to see local news 24/7 (although I didn’t use that term back then, since it had not been invented), including video, audio, original texts, and full transcripts of interviews.

My publisher pulled me into his office and told me that he didn’t appreciate me writing about technology which would put him out of business.

You can go to the Itemizer-Observer website right now. LOL

In any case, we’re returning to the blessed condition found by Ben Franklin when he walked into Philadelphia with two cents and a loaf of bread under each arm. He managed to be the writer, editor, and publisher of his little paper. Today, any person can now cheaply and quickly film, record, write, and publish anything they want at any moment - something I’m considering when I retire from my current career and I’m retired. In any case, anyone reading science fiction or watching old Star Trek episodes could have predicted a multistream media decades ago.
