The news has had its share of killers lately, hasn’t it? Not to trivialize the various wars, disasters, and crimes happening around the globe, but I am actually talking about the killings declared by technology pundits: The iPad will kill the Kindle. Or the Kindle will kill paper. Or 3D TV will kill movies.
Typically, these pundits seize upon a technology or product that seems to have sputtered (in their imagination if not in reality) and imagine how a nascent technology will dislodge it. Had written language existed at the dawn of time, I’m sure a pundit would have written that the wheel would kill human feet.
