# Communications & Attitudes:The Internet versus Print Media

This presentation discusses how user behavior is likely to shape future demand for printed materials. Much of the presentation centers on the Pew Internet Projec's typology of users of information and communication technology, which suggests that the "paperless society" is far out into the future. The materials for this presentation are both text of the remarks delivered and the PowerPoint presentation.
