Comments on: Second Order Effects http://infovore.org/archives/2009/01/15/second-order-effects/ a weblog by Tom Armitage Sun, 08 Apr 2012 09:50:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Ana Neves http://infovore.org/archives/2009/01/15/second-order-effects/comment-page-1/#comment-134349 Ana Neves Wed, 21 Jan 2009 01:45:34 +0000 http://infovore.org/?p=2213#comment-134349 Interesting post, Tom. It reminded me of a post I wrote on Headshift's blog, some time ago: http://www.headshift.com/blog/2007/01/news-papers.php The tone of my post is different and if, anything, it points towards going "online". Despite the reasons I state on the post, there are the "save-a-tree" aspects, and all that jazz. Having said that, I have to secretly admit (you won't tell anyone, will you?), that I like to read printed papers. I like the touch of the paper (maybe not so much the ink on your hands, but...) and the rustle of the pages. I like the serendipitous nature of reading a newspaper, as Nina said before me. And, as I mention on my post, I love newspapers as conversation-starters. Interesting post, Tom.

I don't usually accidentally find those stories online, I don't start reading them by accident because I don't click through to them and that's the value of print media for me.
