UK Stages. To take your newspaper analogy a step further. For 80 years "experts" have predicted the demise of daily newspaper. First the radio era was going to do it.

Then since the 1950s the TV set was going to turn daily newspapers into dinosaurs. Most nodded in agreeance. Then fax machines threatened them. And then most significantly the interent, news websites, and emails. "Newspapers will vanish, no doubt about it".

Anyone seen "The Times" or the NYT, Sydney Morning Herald, or WSJ, Straits Times, or 'USA Today' etc disappear yet? They stayed strong despite the doubters.
