Media Convergence is Happening Now

After reading Mr. Fisch's Blog Did You Know? 4.0: The Economist Media Convergence Remix it makes me wonder about what the future is going to be like. If what use to fit in a building now fits in your pocket and what fit in your pocket will fit in a blood cell in 25 years. What will fit in your blood cell 25 years from now? It makes me wonder if newspaper, books, and magazines are becoming obsolete due to computers what going to make computers obsolete? There are 240,000,000 in the U.S. and 2,000,000 are in bathrooms yet there have been more videos uploaded to YouTube in the last two months than if ABC, NBC, and CBS have been airing new content 24/7/365 since 1948 so does that mean TVs are becoming obsolete? Are there then going to be 2,000,000 computers in the bathroom? It also makes me think about people who don't have computers are the going to be left behind? Are the things that happen on the internet affecting the economy if 95% of the songs downloaded last year weren't payed for could that have affected the recession?
