From an interview with Rob Weychert:
If you think of the two media as people, print is a wise old man who is set in his ways, whereas the web is still a child, unformed and full of potential.
The web is about to turn 16 next month, wherein it will come to the conclusion that no one understands it and everyone sucks. It will then proceed to dress entirely in black, listen to angsty music and write bad poetry.
