Reading Choices
It’s amazing to me how much I can read thanks to the Internet. When I was a kid, I’d get one newspaper a day and maybe a newsmagazine or two each week. Now I’m practically inundated with online magazines, the blogs connected to those magazines, blogs by experts in fields like political science and education. Now that it’s election season I can totally get lost in it. And now I’m thinking about buying a Kindle. I can’t keep up with the information I already have and I’m trying to get more.
And I spend so much time dashing from site to site that I don’t know if I’m actually processing the information or finding ways to add to it. I’ll worry about that another time. Right now, I’m just gonna enjoy living in the future.
