I remember this from Reddit. And lets face it, the transition is never sudden, it's not like tomorrow bunny with a pancake on its head will be the top story on HN.

The decline will be slow and it will happen via those rare stories that both hackers and non hackers find interesting.

Videos, any kind of video, are much more dangerous then pictures, and pictures more dangerous then text.

This is definitely something that an engineer can appreciate, but it is also something ANYONE can watch think cool!
