I was just looking at a few things around me over the last few months.

One thing I have observed is the dramatic increase of online activity in the social and business arena's.

While looking around, I found myself saying that I was glad that I did not own a bookshop and/or a CD/DVD shop.

The days of these shops are numbered. Very very very sad - but I honestly think they are going to fade into oblivion.

I already purchase my music online and have bought 5 books (uhh sorry - ebooks) [funny how the world has cottoned onto our SouthEfrican "E" in front of words, isn't it]

Do you think I am right here and then how many other shops/industries are in danger?

Hi Gary, u've started a very interesting topic.. yip, it is now so easy to publish content online and which unfortunately is resulting in a decline of the quality of literature..

Yeah that's certainly another industry although it's not too difficult to take it online. They better sell their printing machinery NOW :)

Hi Gary .. I'm not sure I would be too keen to own a print newspaper right now, with the likes of twitter as a news source.

But then judging by the recent events in North Africa, I wonder somehow if Politics as we know it also has its days numbered as an industry?
