Bernie Michalik's posterous site

I was using a number of digital magazine this week, and it got me thinking about old conventions crossing over to new media.

When TV first started, one thing that happened was that stage craft and the way plays were staged moved over to TV. Gradually this died off as people innovated in the TV industry, but at the time, it seemed the right way to go. Likewise, I wonder if in a few years or a generation, the conventions that are used in digital magazines will die off. Right now I see digital magazines ascending, but it might be a sharp rise and an equally sharp fall. Time will tell, perhaps it will tell quickly.
