Re: Car & Parts Out of Business

I'm the exact opposite of ScottG. I'm 34 and grew up as one of the Commodore nerds. My school had computers and classes for them. The real change was when the Internet came to be mainstream. When I was younger, I had subscriptions to Cars & Parts, Hemmings, some coin magazines, and computer magazines.

Now that I'm older, I totally prefer the Internet. I get all of my news from either the TV or the Internet. It is just too convenient. Why pay to read a paper when the info in it is already old by the time it is printed? I don't subscribe to any magazines anymore.

I believe that soon everything will be online (or downloaded into some kind of reader device like the Kindle). The real question will be how revenue will be generated when so much information is free. Journalism will really suffer when there will be no funds to pay reporters.
