I understand the issue - I disagree with the conclusion.


I'm telling you - the whole move to digital is going to lead to a
diaster and a big one.



Just think. Your words may forever be considered with a chuckle by future
generations of Google archive viewers, just as Teddy Roosevelt's reluctance
to accept or rely upon the horseless carriage as a replacement for horse
drawn modes of transportation. In 1902 he would ride in a horseless
carriage, but insisted that it be followed by a conventional horse drawn
carriage in case of a breakdown or failure of the new fangled contraption.

The Horseless Carriage
This is very interesting.
A horseless carriage.
What a mysterious thing.

There's a handle in front
That you crank a bit
To wake the contraption up.

There are control things inside
That cause her to start.
Would you care for a ride?

Go ahead. Climb right in.
Crank. Rumble.
We'll give it a spin.

Here we go--a little correction
Of that wheel thing there
Should change our direction.

Well, isn't this fun?
A horseless carriage.
What makes it run?

We're coming to the edge of the lawn.
That's far enough--
Here comes the pond!

Whoa! Oh, no!
What makes it stop?
I said WHOA!

Splash.
