Perhaps publishing companies should be allowed to die, too. And libraries, churches, and public schools and universites. It “would be an opportunity for young people with new ideas to make better things.” They could build a new world out of tweets. “Who gives a crap,” as the tech entrepreneur writes, about newspapers — or any enterprise or institution struggling under old business models — when we can all stay connected online and talk about ourselves in real time? The new gadgets, the new interconnectivity, would seem to enable us to hold the universe in the palms of our hands, while they actually allow us to twitter our lives away. I’d suggest that the tech entrepreneurs pick up a good newspaper or book from time to time.
