Newspaper demise predicted

It was 1947 and I met an elderly Mongolian in Japan who was 114 years old and a direct descendent of the great Genghis Khan.

It was 1947 and I met an elderly Mongolian in Japan who was 114 years old and a direct descendant of the great Genghis Khan.

He used to tell me predictions of which a vast amount proved true, and one of his very odd predictions was that newspapers across the world will one day become rare and electronics (would) replace them in short order, and this is now coming true…

He said the electronic web and Internet-online would replace them and that their loss would cause the postal department many job losses and delay delivery mainly due to electronics out dating them as no one will want to advertise in papers when it is less on web, and if one takes the time to study and figure, it is fast becoming a reality.

Even in your advertising as well as in columnist columns you yourself can see postal mailing addresses are not made available, have also left out postal addresses and millions do not use electronics today, so they avoid mailing letters to columnists, etc…
