I think publishing as it has been will have to adapt and change or find itself in history's trash can. Our ancestors saw it with the advent of the car. At first some models had a fake horse head on the front (to avoid scaring real horses) and eventually the automobile pushed the horse drawn cart to the side. Ray Bradbury expressed the idea in his story "The Toynbee Convector." A society that stagnates and doesn't progress dies.
