Does any technology ever really die?

I love this graphic from The Steve Rubel LifeStream.

He explains it here in his posting: Blogs are Out of Beta, But Bloggers Should Always Be in Beta this way:
“The image above is one of the most important graphics I have ever seen. In fact I stare at it every day on my desktop to remind me that a) there will always be shifts in media and b) one format never supersedes another.”
I know that the entertainment industry is much larger than it was when I was a kid and very much larger than when my parents were little and paying nickels to go to the movies. Every new format added rather than replaced – even if video killed the radio star!
Then again you can feel free to shut down your Archie, Veronica and Gopher servers. And try selling that old 8Track player on eBay.
