>I think this is all a good thing. First of all, papers need so much advertising revenue that more than half their bulk is adverts now. So we pay to cut down MORE trees, to keep the papers in biz, so they can cut down even more. A vicious downward spiral Personally I can't wait for their demise. Like you say, who actually needs them (other than for, as Tamar says, the "feel" of a wad of crisp paper in the hands at the breakfast table or on the bus/train), with all the other media that are around today (which were not when a paper was essential). Take this "experience" away from a generation and what they've never had they won't miss.

Terry - read my reply to Jim for what I think is the real risk to society in this.
