"'The Internet is going to be the thing that knocks off CNN.'" "

The Internet is also putting a sizeable dent in newspaper readership. I have some friends who still read the paper and call me when there is anything special I need to read. They haven't called in a long time. Maybe because they are spending more time on the net like me.

The only paper I read (occasionally) is my hometown paper, when I go see my parents.
Now that the paper has a website, I don't even do that.

Heh.  That may be because, when they tell you about something they just read, you , like me, look off into the distance and say, "Oh, yeah.  I read about that on the internet day before yesterday.  Here's what is going on now..."  After a while, they either go on the net themselves or stop telling you the 'news.'
