It is sad that print maybe become a thing that kids in the near future will learn at school on their tablets on the "History web page". But like Captain Picard in Star Trek, there will always be someone that embraces printed medium, instead of something that is flashing from an LED screen. Even someday, tablets, and smart phones maybe come "things from the past". I can only assume(you know what they say about that) based on the way we listen to music. From records(for you younger member, black discs of plastic with music recorded in grooves), to reel to reel tape, to 8track, to cassette, to CD's, to now digital.
The thing is, it isn't just our model railroader magazines that are taking the hit financially, and by technology, it's all types of magazines that are getting hit.
As fast as technology is moving, what's next?
But if us older folks don't keep up, we will be left behind.
To keep with the topic, I never really subscribed to either of those magazines. I may have picked one up at show, or a flea market, but never really read them.
