Diary on the Digital Revolution
summary
A 25 year diary from 1990 to 2015 argues the web doesn’t just mirror society it reshapes it, with concrete effects: early digital scanning machines cut newsroom jobs, Google (2003) collapses classifieds so a Frankfurt weekend edition drops from 860 pages to 4 pages costing publishers tens of millions a year, display ad rates fall from 36,000 to ~600–800, e‑paper sales top 60–100k only for a few titles, paid models work for verticals like HolidayCheck, and the next bet is the Internet of Things for food, fashion and lifestyle titles.
