We can take heed of what happened to the decline of the newspaper industry. Rupert Murdoch once described the profits from his empire as “Rivers of Gold” but several years later said: “Sometimes rivers dry up.”
While there are many reasons the newspaper industry has declined so rapidly, the major one is that the people choose to consume news THEIR WAY. The power went from the corporations that controlled it, to the people.
Revolutions can be good, depending on which side you are on. Take the Industrial Revolution for instance. Would you be a company that embraced the new manufacturing processes and experienced growth, or would you stick to the old ways of doing things and see your business shrink to nothing?
There is a similar movement in the IT world that I call the IT Revolution. Whereas once the IT industry was a ship driven by the VARs and resellers, now that power is going to the people and they are plotting the course.
