to any business or activity built around a technology that has been superceded by technology more appropriate to the times.

We normally assume that means newer technology, but the way things are going, we could be facing an era where older technology may sometimes be more appropriate. So don't get too attached to EITHER eReaders or bookstores, we may find 'reading' knots tied in strands of hemp delivered on the back of a burro in our future.

Stay focused on Watz Hapnin!
