Because I'm a decisive eorspn, firmly grounded in my own beliefs, I voted 'Maybe'. Because, y'know, they kind of might maybe some day, but then they might not, so I don't really know...Here's something that's just occured to me. A lot of where civilisation is today is born of a few huge advances in technolgy, like the mastery of fire, the invention of the wheel, and the printing press bringing enlightenment and education to the masses.We'd still be in the dark ages if someone hadn't thought of typesetting words and printing them on paper. And in the few centuries since then we've invented cars, aeroplanes, radio, television, computers, the Internet, space travel, and blogging literary agents.We'd have none of those things without the printing press, and here we are debating whether or not a piece of mass produced plastic is going to finally kill off a method of communication that has essentially changed very little since its inception.Mmmm, smell the irony.
