The expectation that any "old" media will "die" is wrong, they just take up their space in the ecosystem (however small that might be).

This is nothing new in the 70s Marshall McLuhan came up with the idea of the Media Ecosystem and Media Ecology.

It seems straight forward to me - all media are useful - but each new media (at whatever period in history it is discovered) tends to dilute the effect of the others when it gets added into the mix.

Dear Al,

We agree that one new technology does not replace, but dilutes. And I presented myself as still belonging to that diluted analogue world. Yet we also see significant cultural and social implications of living in a connected and networked society.

Also I think we are midwives to a new media eco-system. And that will be fascinating to watch evolve as I have done already over the last 8 years.

Thanks for posting

Alan
