I want to touch things; women, paper, food; i go with the print side.

I dont think one or the other has MORE of a future. Neither of them is going anywhere, but i think the print end will be a little more stable and set for a while yet. Seems to me web design is still in its infancy... it will take a while longer for wages/fees to stabilize, and for the web design industry in general to become more stable. I'd like to say that if youre good, you'll have a solid future in either, but i do know a few good unemployed web designers at the moment.

You´re right; there´s no better side. Problem is that everybody and his cat, are designers theese days. Here in Denmark, there´s tons of schools and lectures you can get, just if you can draw you´re favorite pony and it´s ruining it for everybody, when people has to work at small, small money because of the competision.

im serious... design and data will be run with artificial intellagence..... interfaces that are created by computers .... interfaces and design created with AI ...we will have a smaller part

barring design by artificial intelligence, in a couple years i think we'll be rid of the people taking an HTML class at the community center and then charging 5.00/hr for "web design". Then perhaps clients wont come looking for a full ecommerce site for 2K, and looking shocked when you tell them it aint happening.

I think the question should be set as interactive digital media versus print, because there is more to the digital side than just the web. To answer the question:
I don't think you can do just one or the other anymore. Both are important and it is likely that there will be opportunities for individuals in both. Print is harder to get into, because the cost of printing and consequent trust factor. Thus print might also be more stabile area of business. There are areas of digital interactive market where the entry barriers are still quite large. One example is interactive television, where different standards are still battling out each other and only few good development tools are available.

i dunno.... i think that print comes second hand too me.... i would rather spend an hour drawing or designing than rather trying to see if a codec will work better with netscape or IE...
