russell davies: the internet isn't killing anything

the internet isn't killing anything

As a semi-professional prognosticator I'm always tempted by the rhetorical power of statements like The Internet Is Killing X. But, of course, it isn't.

I also try hard to remember:

Something That's Growing Is Not The Same As Something That's Big.

Something That's Declining Is Not The Same As Something That's Small.

If someone offers to give you half of a record company, take it. They may be shrinking, but they're still big.
