Marc Andreesen should stick to what he knows: Text. He may be right about newspapers but his remarks about television and movies are premature. Audiences may be ready to give up ink smeared on paper but they are not ready to abandon storytelling delivered on a screen.

You mean like...your computer's screen?
how do you know what he knows?
Look at his areas of expertise. Netscape. Ning. Loudcloud. Don't see any TV or movie industry experience. Do you?
Henry Ford probably didn't have a lot of experience with horses either.

But Andreessen is just smart enough to know that "computer + foo = computer".
I found this neat heuristic in Alan Coopers "inmates running the asylum" ~ http://www.amazon.com/Inmates-Are-Running-Asylum/dp/06723164... It means digital media processed by computers are right up his (and other computer/digital natives) alley.
