Why Do People Keep Saying Stuff is Dead?

Page 24: Saying Stuff is Dead is Dead

Outbreaks of what the computer scientist John Seely Brown calls "endism" have been rife in discussions about communications technology since the time of Plato, who opined that writing would destroy memory. In the 20th century, it was widely trumpeted that television would be the death of, first, radio and, later, movies.
