I gave up reading the newspaper in paper form years ago. I basically got tired of throwing out the papers the next day including all the advertisements I didn’t care about. Today I read USA Today online daily and download New York Times and Huffington Post articles that interest me. I can save them to Pocket and post them on Facebook.
I doubt physical newspapers will exist much longer. They will go the way of the Linotype machine, into museums.
Unfortunately, businesses that don’t change with the times will suffer the same fate as the Eastman Kodak company. They invented the digital camera but refused to give up producing photographic and X-ray films and embrace digital technology.

Bob,
I don’t enjoy the on-line papers as much as I do the physical papers. My newspapers get saved and then recycled at the dump. I also save interesting articles I see on-line to the Pocket. I have a subscription to the Washington Post on-line for breaking news though I could read the paper as well.
Papers like the NY Times have had rising subscriptions much of it attributed to Trump’s election. It seems this younger generation is enjoying newspapers.
I know they will not exist at some time but, for now, I’m happy with the two I get.
I was sorry to see the end of Eastman Kodak. I have fond memories of my cameras, including the one I took to Africa.

Sadly, things like 35mm film and slides, pay phones, typewriters and vacuum tubes are as prevalent as buggy whips. 🙂 There has been a resurgence in vinyl records and vacuum tube amplifiers who think the music sounds warmer than digital recordings and solid state amps. My hearing has deteriorated over the years from loud airplane noise I can’t tell the difference.

Bob,
I still have a great Konica 35mm camera with metal parts. I even have a wonderful couple of lenses for it. I order film on line every now and then and use it.
I have tons of slides from so many trips. I turned my Africa slides into jpegs, and it wasn’t all that expensive. I should start sending a trip at a time to be converted.
I have many of my old records and a new turntable. They do have a different sound than mp3’s. I like the clicks.

minicapt,
These are great pictures, the sort I would like to take. They are people just doing ordinary things.
