In 1981, Bill Gates said that nobody would ever need more than 640k of RAM.
20 years ago, nobody would have thought that online magazines and news outlets would eclipse printed news media.
I think pre-recorded entertainment media will go the way of the vinyl LP within 10 years of the time that bandwidth penetration makes it possible. Unfortunately, delivery will probably be in the form of VoD, or DRM'ed IPTV, so that the content providers can charge per view - putting an end to home media collections. I'm not saying that's a good thing... but I can see it happening.
