Print is not dead, nor will it ever die. This is for one simple reason: the domain name service. The domain name service, you see, has within its servers a massive database that links the numeric IP adresses to the more easy-to-remember written web addresses we take for granted. And while the domain name service does have multiple server/databases spread out across America, and parts of Europe (I also believe they are working on setting up shop in China as well), these servers are still prime targets for anti-globalization terrorists. If such a group were successful in shutting down or worse, destroying these server/databases, the internet as we know it would cease to exist, and any data that we had had on it, would be lost forever (unless of course, you had kept the data for your site on a hard drive somewhere). You may be wondering why I would have devoted time to working out how to destroy the internet... Well, you see, after taking an internet class at UCR, I got involved in creating a new table-top RPG (there was talk of adapting it to a LARP, but I don't think that'll pan out very well) based around modern espionage. Naturally, such an RPG would involve stopping (or aiding) terrorists at some point, and I thought that this DNS scenario would be more interesting than the typical "disarm the bomb already you fuck-tard".
