Analogue vs. Digital
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Have you ever tried to read a newspaper on the Web? I'm not talking about an article or column. I'm talking the whole newspaper — front to back, everything.
It's not easy.
Yet for many people, this is the preferred way to find out what's going on.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Trouble is, not everything going on. Like I said: An article here, a column there.
But you cannot tell me it's easier reading an entire newspaper or magazine for that matter, on a computer — any computer — than reading the paper version.
Yet people are. People do. And don't my newspaper reporter friends know it and fear it.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Information is instantaneous and an old stodgy pile of paper apparently is not.
It's not that content isn't still king, it's just shorter content — much shorter.
I have a very smart friend of mine who reads a great deal but swears it's virtually all... well, virtual — online.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}No paper. No muss. No fuss. He tells me he's increasingly reading books that way too.
That's where I draw the line. Please tell me how it's more convenient reading a book on a computer or one of those book-reader things.
I know, I know: I sound very old.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}But old enough to know they once said television would kill radio. And that watching a movie on DVD at home would kill ever watching it at a theater.
Yet radio still thrives and theaters are still packed.
And unless and until they put a chip in our brains, a lot of us will enjoy the printed word in our hands.
