Are The Days of Reading Newspapers Going Away?

Lounge likes the dot to dots,

I haven't seen him finnish one yet though.

Not sure what the Fins have to do with anything.

Or is English your second language?

dolt.

I feel your pain, Lounge. My paper folded yesterday....



Today was the first time in my adult life that I didn't have a paper with the morning coffee.

That sucks!

I'm still fortunate that we have a paper here locally...Been a subscriber forever. But--as circulation declines, Ad revenues do too....As do classifieds placements that use to generate bucks. Not a good combo for long-term success.

First job I ever had was delivering papers as a teenager....The end of an era.

I blame Algore and his inconvenient truth. Fewer papers mean fewer senseless murder of trees. Thats a good thing, isn't it?

Before we know it we're going to be left with USA Today.

MMMMmmmmmm..... pie charts.

Do you guys get local newspapers ?
Not talking state or city but at your
county or shire level ? Just curious...
I used to read the Sunday paper here,
even re-read it during the week on the crapper
to make sure I didnt miss anything..
But now with all the news websites, I stopped.
My father (who doesnt use the net to read news)
brings up news stories all the time when we talk
and Im always up to date.
Sadly like coopers (my great grandfather was
a cooper) newspapers will disappear.
We will probably be around to see it too...

I bought a cheap wireless nettop for the crapper,
as I knew you would all be concerned about that !!

We recycle here...and forests can be managed...

You could also argue that Al's interweb in itself uses a good deal of power from coal-fired plants increasing pollution and the strain on the grid...
