I didn't mean to imply that this is a Good Thing, merely that these
are social shifts, not archaeological or heritage ones. This is not
the place to hold a survey but it would be interesting to know how
many people still regularly buy a newspaper compared to 5 years ago.
If journalism (both in format and style) has seen such a radical shift
it's unlikely that heritage will remain unaffected. I also happen to
love books and newsprint and prefer vinyl to mp3s but that hasn't
stopped me filling my ipod or only buying the Guardian in airports ;-)

That's probably enough from me...
