Not really Andrew. What has changed is how and what we read.
Most still read books and the news - but, less and less, via paperbacks and newspapers. Ebooks are taking over and news is viewed on tablets and smartphones - more and more.
Sport is going down the same road. About 60 thousand will watch Arsenal at the Emirates; but over a billion will watch the game worldwide, on live TV.
I don't think pay TV has a real future by 2020, many people will ditch the their subscriptions for live streams via apps on smart TVs . People will of course attend to the games and be loving the atmosphere. We need to follow Australia as they protect the FTA format. |

The way many people read has also changed. Many - when reading, say, technical/historical/facts based books - will have a tablet or smartphone to hand.
Using the device to expand/elaborate on data and individuals via the internet. Instead of referring to brief and indifferent appendices.
Some - particularly when reading through a device - will often have it play suitable music. And the £35 Chromecast will allow you to read your book on your TV screen.
What ever next?
