I don't get it.

Maybe because of all the +es.

Oh, I got that part. I just watched the OP slide show and realized that none of those things are dead for me, especially the reference books. So I don't get that anything was actually killed.

Some would call this progress.

And some of what was discussed in the article does not apply to everyone.

I, for example, leave work at work. I do not even check my work E-mail when at home nor do I do work at home (we have policy against that)

And the Internet Tubes have certainly not killed facts. The facts are still out there. People's laziness and their gullibility inhibit them from finding the facts. But the facts are out there.

You just won't find too many of them in the General Topics forum.
