It's astonishing (but perhaps it's not) that you think there is no
longer any need to know how to work a printing press. There are still
umpteen million tons of news print being produced every year plus
heaven knows what of higher grade papers. Do you think it's all going
to be used to wrap fish and chips?

it's done with computers now. nobody manually produces newspapers
anymore. do you think they still load letters into the press?

and newspapers and magazines are being replaced with online versions
anyway so even that is a soon to be obsolete skill.

....and yet the B&H catalog arrives in my mailbox regularly.
