But Gates is an enthusiast for change (OK he is wrong about some aspects of the change, but he is saying a lot is going to change. And you agree about that?). He maybe is more on the side of the angels than you give him credit for. Newspapers and magazines have to get digital and when they do they will get more of the flow of digital and targetted advertising. Which is what Gates thinks is important. See comments here http://exacteditions.blogspot.com/2007/05/bill-gates-and-future-of-print.html I reckon he underestimates the durability of paper. But the preponderance of reading may well go to the web. Its already gone that way for certain kinds of publication (Technical and Scientific publications in particular). Newspapers too could become predominantly digital in audience. Great list.

I love your "Why not" feature that celebrates creative, optimistic innovation, which you demonstrate exists everywhere, in every discipline and this latest collection of quotes by people who "said it couldn't be done" is hilarious -- had me laughing out loud. Keep up the great work! Thank you very much for your uplifting and inspiring posts!
