    Nobody pays me to write any of the copy on my blog, and should I ever have the good fortune that they do, I will declare it. My main employment is as the owner and principal of The Future Place consultancy. The Future Place provides two key services 1) training and services to industry and academic bodies and 2) consultancy services to companies. The details of the companies I work with are a private matter, but if I blog about any company who has paid The Future Place more than expenses recently (approx. two years) I will mention that they are a client. I hold equity in Virtual Surveys and provide consulting services to them from time to time. I am paid to run courses for a number of trade bodies and over the last few years clients have included ESOMAR, AMSRS, MRS, and MRIA.

Audio cassettes, another sign of shift

The BBC have an article talking about how UK retailer Currys has announced that it will stop stocking blank audio cassettes. Last year Currys sold just 100,000 tapes, in 1989 they sold 83 million.

Recordable tapes were first introduced in 1963 and have had a pretty good run. It is unlikely that DVDs and MP3 players will last anything like as long.
