The times, they are a-changin'.(Focus)
In my most recent previous life I was pretty heavily involved in the computer industry in parallel to my tech writing and editing career. I got on the bandwagon in the early 1980's and hung around there until just past the turn of the century, in various capacities.
I recall the rise of the computer magazines from the likes of the Ziff-Davis' of the industry. At the zenith, say circa 1996, these publications were in the hundreds of pages with tons of advertising--sales wasn't much more than taking orders.
And, the digital landscape wasn't the only place where money was plentiful. Wireless magazines did well, fiber optics was at its apex and publications about anything from venture capitalism to the Internet to HTML programming were springing up like tumbleweeds after a West Texas thunderstorm.
Now, technical magazines like Byte are dust. The once quasi-technical magazines like PC World or PC Magazine are all about consumer multimedia. The consolidation or elimination of a myriad of publications in the wireless, fiber optics, semiconductor, and other industries littered the landscape with casualties. And the faces of publishing houses are forever altered. My, how the landscape (and the industries) has changed.
