I still buy magazines because there is the issue of a magazine being infinitley more portable than a computer source

 

you can find some but not all of the articles
WERD carrying a magazine > carrying a laptop or trying to read articles on a tiny little screen.

 

right on, I guess I've completly gone digital and don't feel the need to support print media. I'd prefer to get the news or what not via the internet via computer, or cellphone. Its the future and print media as we know it is changing. Local papers are going to die off and a lot of news is going to be via the web.

 

i think print will ocntinue until it is no longer limited by technology. Until i can actually carry a device that doesn't wight more then a magazine i dont think i will go fully online. I do read alot online thought so i understand what you say...

 

I don't see it that way because there are many who get eyestrain staring at a computer screen for extended periods of time. Also the portability of the medium is horrible (as mentioned before).

Printed media will never fully die off.

 

batteries die ... newspapers just fade

not to mention when you camping or go on a vacation it isnt really practical to haul a laptop around with you all the time. nor will you always have internet access.

printed media will never die off

 

I agree the quality has worstened over the last couple of years. I used to get FHM and that was way better.

 

I agree that print media won't die, but more and more media is going online. I think magazines will still have their place, I just see a trend of more people accessing their info via the web. I can see a rough ratio of 60% of people viewing a magazine online and 40% still getting a physical copy. I do see a lot of local newspapers dying off though. I view that as a good thing because a lot of them are biased and the market is choosing to read what's important to them and they are doing it via online.

 

yay for maxim
