Scoble links to this blog post which questions the viability of technical publications. I subscribe to a lot of tech journals - and truth be told, I like the paper versions. Sure, ComputerWorld, InfoWorld (et. al.) have online versions, where all of the content resides (heck, ComputerWorld uses a quicklink scheme to make it easy to find content you are reading about). Why do I like the printed versions? It's a whole lot easier to read with my lunch, or on a plane. There are still many places where I either cannot (no connectivity) or won't (not carrying my laptop) go online. I still like to read in many of those places though. I seriously doubt that printed content will go away - but it's going to have to make accomodations - as ComputerWorld has done.
