While this may not reflect an obvious connection with newsagents, I see a big connection.
Just as we have a generation living today who have not heard of cassette tapes or cartridges or even laser disks, we are seeing the development of a generation which may never know about printing on paper.
The melancholy aside, what JibJab is offering is very cool.
