If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

For pricing purposes I'd say more of a playlist.

My newspaper vendor is a worried and confused man. I have faithfully been buying my paper from him for the last five years. Until one week ago.
Safaricom sent me a message to download an app that delivers the entire newspaper as it appears in print to my tablet every morning. Its much cheaper than the print version, plus the added advantage of having the archived copy for future reference. Now I am afraid my long running relationship with my vendor is coming to an end.

I haven't gotten a chance to slow down and explain to the guy about the e-paper. I don't know how many more customers he has lost. But what happens when you find yourself standing on the wrong side of technological innovation ? Can the printed newspaper survive another 25 years ?

Around 60$/4800ksh per year which is a bargain considering if you buy a newpaper daily it comes to around 22000ksh per year.My barber is seriously considering going for the tablet he spends 3500 monthly buying the nation and standard


That is interesting...So he will be handing his clients a tab to read through as they wait for their turn?

He is thinking of getting two biggest concern is security its very easy for anyone to slip out with unnoticed


Chain it on the waiting chairs!

Its not a bargain. The difference might be less than 1k. You have to download the paper daily. Whats the size of the data? Analogue newspapers can be sold at the end of the year you cant sell digital paper.

just about anyone with access to a tablet or smart phone has access to free internet at work, coffee house or pub. then there are those you pay a flat rate fee for at home like zuku etc. data cost should not factor in this at all. personally i do not see why i should buy the e-paper thing when i can the same news from the publication's app or on their website.

The digital world will require a different approach to money and payments. I expect barter trade and free access to resources to increase under a communalist system.

Corporations will not be about profit, but market and activity maximization.

Like, everyone will be a reporter, even street lights will be reporters, how will all these reporters be paid? Specialization and 8 hour work systems will not hold, so the newspaper vendor of today will have multiple jobs then as a reporter, security officer, courier, coach, anything he/she wants, and gains will be tremendous.

Commercial banks will deal more with data than money. . .
