D.O.P.A.M.

(Death Of Paper And Magazines)

Jay-Z's release of Death Of Auto-tune (D.O.A.) has sparked the death of all of things from D.O.S.J (Death Of Skinny Jeans) to D.O.S.M (Death Of Stephon Marbury) now I move onto D.O.P.A.M.

There is a quote, unquote revolution on the web that is slowly eradicating published papers, magazines, and even books some what similar to an abrupt "murder-death-kill" as seen and heard from the Sylvester Stallone starred movie Judge Dredd (I know...real random, but that's me). I've been a witness to newly constructed electronic magazines on the web, published magazines that have segued into electronic magazines, and journalists that have left published media into personal blogs and web pages, where their own opinion and voice can be viewed from all across the world. Paper and hard-backed books are on the chopping the block as well with the newer generations of the Kindle. I am a constant supporter of "papyrus", which is my favorite substitution for the word paper. People are buying into these wireless reading devices, and supporting the online revolution. At the end of the day these new advances and paradigm shifts are allowing people to conduct their normal activities and catch things on their own time. Where Videos-on-Demand, DVR, and TV web recaps have flourished so shall web magazines, wireless devices which can hold 300+ books, and personal blogs as well.

What do you think of this revolution? I might choose to highlight specific publications in the future just to give examples...
