Mark Bernstein argues that it is more useful to think of newspapers as coming undone. Large piles of paper tied with a string that the internet have slowly, and now quickly unraveled.
Mark Bernstein: The Bundle of Newspapers Comes Undone
The reason is that newspapers are a bundle, tied together with string. The link and the Web have been yanking on that string for twenty years now. When you do that at first, nothing much happens, especially if the bundle is big and heavy. But, if the knot comes undone, very suddenly papers are flying all about and you no longer have a bundle at all.
