That's why I still like real books, mags and papers, etc. Keep those subscriptions going so editors know we still want the real thing!ChaChaneenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07513422419246644559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560071949400915555.post-22522223543798444752011-07-31T19:56:39.133-05:002011-07-31T19:56:39.133-05:00Oh I do know what you mean.

They are almost history now.

I feel like I'm desperately trying to keep up with it all and afraid to get left behind if I don't. While I love my computer and all it can do, I still subscribe to newspapers and magazines and love hand held books over reading them on Kindle.Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560071949400915555.post-12265199838463788402011-07-25T17:59:42.472-05:002011-07-25T17:59:42.472-05:00It will be sad not to have newspapers and, soon, e...It will be sad not to have newspapers and, soon, everyone will have kindle and, perhaps, there won't be books or magazines.

However, I am not sure I like everything that it has replaced. No newpsapers means no paper which means no logging and paper making. Then no printing or delivery people. All in all I know they say the computer has created jobs but I just can not believe it has made more than it has replaced. My neighbors still get their milk delivered. Try to explain that to a teenager!<br /> denisetincanlilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07635711925466019177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560071949400915555.post-68130655038664845482011-07-25T15:12:23.589-05:002011-07-25T15:12:23.589-05:00Everything seemed a little more sweet and wholesom...Everything seemed a little more sweet and wholesome back then!Wanda.....https://www.blogger.com/profile/00551160819558198338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560071949400915555.post-90141461842024729682011-07-25T14:28:18.389-05:002011-07-25T14:28:18.389-05:00I fear that newspapers will disappear altogether a...I fear that newspapers will disappear altogether as well!

I wanted to look just like them AND I wanted to be able to sketch them... I suspect there are a lot of things the next generation wont have that we did .. will they miss them, I am not sure .. if you dont have something you cant miss it being goneDarylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08241795455748298624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560071949400915555.post-54958661978031911932011-07-25T06:02:21.969-05:002011-07-25T06:02:21.969-05:00Printed photographs and letters.

Much of what we know about day to day life of years gone by comes from letters and photos of our past. Large sections of that will be missing in years to come.Steve Gravanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13840984762759524660noreply@blogger.com
