Media historian Brian Rose examines the many ways the internet has radically transformed the old media of newspapers, magazines, the recording industry, film, radio, and television. Rose traces how this digital revolution took place in such a short time and what lies ahead in the continually changing era of new media.
He explores questions such as whether printed newspapers will exist 10 years from now; if newsstands and bookstores will disappear as fast as record stores did; if movie theaters will continue to exist in their present form; and whether broadcast and cable TV will vanish, replaced entirely by streaming.
