It’s important to remember that the relationship between different media tends to be complementary. When new media arrive they don’t necessarily replace or eradicate previous types. Though we should perhaps observe a half second silence for the eight-track — there that’s done. What usually happens is that older media have to shuffle about a bit to make space for the new one and its particular advantages. Radio did not kill books and television did not kill radio or movies — what television did kill was the cinema newsreel.

This was a four-episode panel discussion, led by Adams, on the future of media. Adams died shortly after the final episode aired. The archived BBC Radio 4 website for the show is still online, but (ironically) requires RealPlayer.
