I was thinking about declining ad revenues today, and it got me wondering how a print publication could make a better connection between the printed page and the online world. Getting somebody to type in a URL isn’t that hard, but it’s also not that sexy or exciting.

How long will it be, do you think, before printers can mass-produce little USB drives with a couple K of data on them?

Imagine a blow-in 3×5 card with a little USB port on the edge. That would open up lots of possibilities.
