We don't have a tv (by choice) so it's how I get the news.<br /><br />Someone else blogged the other day about how they are going to stop teaching kids to write cursive in school. No point - now everyone types. Cursive will become obsolete at some point - one day you'll have to be specially trained to read it like heiroglyphics or something. This just blows my mind.Lisa @ Two Bears Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03464839163693785901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420428411794914404.post-79664874903675064022011-02-24T05:49:18.289-07:002011-02-24T05:49:18.289-07:00I do read the news on the Internet, but I would pr...I do read the news on the Internet, but I would prefer a newspaper.

And because there's so much depressing news out in this big old world I always finish with the comics.<br /><br />I have an iPad that I downloaded iBooks and the Kindle apps for. I have some books on there that I'm reading because they're cheaper than buying and I wasn't too sure how good they'd be. That said I far prefer and actual book with real paper.cdncowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055181472294995601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420428411794914404.post-7299063210437065412011-02-23T19:58:00.279-07:002011-02-23T19:58:00.279-07:00I don't read the news paper very often anymore...I don't read the news paper very often anymore. I use to buy for the want ads,but theres nothing in there any more. I think news papers have about outlived their usefulness.Still I don't want to see their demise,because that would be the end of an era.

The local classified section still has value concerning farm items and general happenings. Plus, I like nothing better than sitting down to my Sunday morning coffee with the paper. On the other hand my e-reader allows me to enlarge the print to make book reading easier on my eyes.Chai Chaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845100961653150736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420428411794914404.post-32953549905172777492011-02-23T18:33:45.474-07:002011-02-23T18:33:45.474-07:00I still love reading the newspaper.

Dallas Morning News (daily) and two local towns (weekly and bi-weekly). However, I do find I let the newspapers pile up for a week, then skim thru them quickly as I've already seen most of the headlines on the web. I'm going to discontinue the DMN when it runs out this year. Save us $380/yr or more...IanHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15874490886311041312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420428411794914404.post-52470348930328773362011-02-23T15:01:05.516-07:002011-02-23T15:01:05.516-07:00I have daily newspaper delivery.

I supplement with online news, and it's great to access news from the UK and Germany online and such, but no electronic gadget will ever replace the feel (and smell) of newsprint. And (GASP) most of our local schools have newspapers delivered and some teachers still require students to peruse it, clip articles out, etc. If they disappear, I hope it isn't during my lifetime!Lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08831231531918915804noreply@blogger.com
