I think progress is inevitable, but the publishing companies still maintain their grip on science for now.

The other day I had to send out engineering drawings for signatures... physically print out E-size drawings and take them around the building. Why? Because old men, that's why. We will migrate to digital signatures, just as peer review will migrate to a digital review format, but neither will happen as soon as they should (now).
