    Since I got a smartphone, especially my recently new Android, I hardly ever look at a tablet, computer or tv anymore.

    It’s called a newspaper which I love……….I also love my computer where I can read even more.

    It’s called a “Beach Read” and it’s a paperback book. Who wants to read the newspaper on the beach and get upset by headlines? It’s a time to kick back and read for enjoyment!

    Alas, journalism is being swirled into the social media, which does not appreciate truth and actual facts.

    I started having the paper delivered again, partically because it brought back pleasant memories of Sunday mornings with coffee in bed, with a paper that took an hour or two to read. However, I never had to go out into the snow to figure out where my computer had been buried. I’ve never had to fish my computer out of a mud puddle and avoid the drips as I threw it into the trash, and the paper is now so small that it isn’t worth taking all the way to the bedroom. You can pretty much read it walking back into the house.

    Newspaper on the beach leads to litter on the beach.

    Yes, great idea. So good it lasted for hundreds of years.

    Kinda reminds me of the Asimov(?) story where the secret weapon was a guy, I think, who could do math in his head. He required a much smaller, less detectable space vehicle, and could sneak up on the enemy’s unseen. ( I read that story over fifty years ago, so the above may be inaccurate ).

    “…all the important stuff on a piece of paper….”

    And to help folks (at least some of the older ones) understand that it’s meant as a substitute for the computer, we could call it a “notebook”.

    someone should email the Koreans about the notion; so the West can get around to the idea two or so centuries later.

    And they should attach those cordless phones to the wall so they won’t get lost.

    Doesn’t ANYONE who reads this strip subscribe to a facsimile newspaper?!

    There’s no reason you have to sacrifice the editorial judgement of a broadsheet daily for the sake of portability in this day and age. My god, e-editions have been around for more than a decade, accessible through e-readers, phone apps, Adobe Reader as downloadable PDFs the exact same proportion as the printed page but even crisper. And the thing is, you get the best of everything with them. I’d estimate one of every four articles my local daily runs is a New York Times piece — and that’s only one outside source they routinely reprint.

    You don’t get ink on your hands, no trees are killed, there’s nothing to recycle, you can print articles or clip them right off the page, it’s cheap … you even get the obits!

    It’s almost like the technology got so advanced it’s left everyone behind and they simply haven’t stumbled on it yet. If this is what Facebook has done to America, then I say, Fuque Facebook!

    The problem with paper is that they use 12-point type and with my eyes, I need 23 point type. ‘Course I don’t look that svelte in a bathing suit either.
