The end of print computer magazines

I'm a big reader of print - I honestly think my ability to keep up with technology changes has gone downhill as books and magazines have stopped covering techology.

Unless you worked at PC World in 2004, what’s most striking about this chart is Computer Shopper’s utter collapse—from something like 350,000 issues sold at the newsstand a month to fewer than 55,000. As the most catalog-like major computer magazine, it was the most vulnerable to being rendered obsolete by the web. Once a 1,000-page (!!!) monthly behemoth, it withered in more dramatic fashion than PC World or PC Magazine. When it didn’t feel like Computer Shopper anymore, readers lost interest.

I read a lot of Computer Shopper back in the day. We should return.
