A Futurist Panel At The World Economic Forum Suggests Print Newspapers Will Cease By 2014 So Should We Start Packing Our Bags?
by possibly noteworthy at 11:12 am EST, Feb 2, 2008

From the man who puts the Long in Long Bet:

A World Economic Forum (WEF) panel featuring such futurists as Paul Saffo of Stanford and Peter Schwartz, chairman of Global Business Network, suggested Thursday that print newspapers will disappear by 2014. But ever since the Internet became a powerhouse we’ve heard similar predictions on the end of print, so, no need to pay attention to this prediction either. Right?

I mentioned another Saffo prediction last year: Paul Saffo: USA to disappear in 50 years.
