Goodbye digital, hello paper
February 3rd, 2017 by Bob Bly
In an article in The New York Review of Books (2/9/2017), Bill
McKibben notes that an increasing number of folks are turning
away from electronic communication and instead choosing
old-school media.
For instance:
>> In 2006, just 900,000 new vinyl records were sold in the U.S.
In 2015, the number of vinyl records sold was 23 million — an
increase of 20% per year.
>> Despite a hefty $150 price for an annual subscription, in the
last decade the magazine The Economist has seen its print
circulation grow by 600,000.
>> Students who take massive open online courses (MOOCs) perform
worse, and learn less, than their peers who are sitting in a
school listening to a teacher talking in front of a blackboard.
>> In many classrooms and office conference rooms, schools and
corporations are replacing digital smartboards with paper and
colored markers.
>> Hundreds of board game parlors, where people get together to
play on game boards made of cardboard moving pieces made of
plastic or metal, have opened in North America.
So … what are the reasons a portion of the population is turning
back to old media?
>> Well, in the case of records, people enjoy handling and
playing them, and appreciate the cover art and liner notes. They
also gain a sense of ownership over the music some don’t get from
digital.
>> For The Economist, when you carry the print edition, people
can see what you are reading, which if the magazine is
prestigious, shows you are smart, cultured, and in-the-know. Much
harder to see that the bloke next to you is reading the digital edition of The Economist without sticking your face right in front of his smart phone.
>> MOOCs does not surprise me. Podcasts, online courses,
streaming video, and other digital classes simply cannot match
the interaction and personalized attention a teacher gives in a
classroom or a speaker like me gives at a live workshop.
>> As for video games vs. board games, McKibben quotes writer David Sax: “Even if you were playing World of Warcraft with the same group of friends around the world each day, talking smack over
your headsets, and typing in snippets of conversation, you were
ultimately alone in a room with a screen, and the loneliness
washed over you like a wave when the game ended.”

I presume you are doing all of your presentation in powerpoint. So, getting the information together is not the trouble.So, between now and then, you need http://www.assignmenthelpdeal.co.uk/ to get get admission to to a smartboard and digital projector that has a pc attached to it that has smartboard software installed. Then you need a person to expose you a way to ‘orient’ the board so that the board knows where you’re when you tap at the board. You need to run via a presentation before hand so you do not have that stess on presentation day.

Thanks for sharing experiences with us; I am in the favor of old school media. As I strongly agree with the point that the electronic methods can be more expensive than paper. http://ukleaflets.co.uk/

Actually, I wanted to know about your topic, but after reading your contents I could not get any proper idea for my search. You need to add the content in much more descriptive manner. All the instruction regarding the marriage functions should be given in a step by step manner. I fund so many unnecessary things in your log.

We all have heard the cries for the digital paper to save trees and paper. It is true that paper is a really diminishing resource as the number of trees on the surface of Earth are depleting. Thank you for sharing the post. washington tourist attractions

In this era approx every other person is using technology and the flow of digital printing as compare to last year has become slow. I also do prefer technical terms and will suggest all of the users to use this. I often download Online newspapers , blogs and all other informative materials via any App. Sometimes i use some coupons and codes to gain discounts on my purchase.

But, we should also keep in mind that the amount of both the old school and the digital era people increasing parallel and many of folks feel it comfortable to read things on gadgets instead of hard copy. As a Digital Community Manager and a blogger I look many trends and things for PennySaviour and I am still thinking if we need to keep both trends on or is there any one which is going to obsolete.

I continue to be enthralled with hand crank sewing machines and had an opportunity to purchase two a few weeks ago in a package deal with a treadle and an electric sewing machine. It was a quadruple hit! My husband went with me for the drive on wet roads at night but we found the place easily enough and, of course, there was a story, too.

Men especially the educated ones will often state that they value substance over style or rather inner beauty over physical appearance. But it’s one thing to say and another thing to believe.

I’m impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and amusing, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is an issue that not enough folks are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something concerning this.

Hi…
Gov Says Goodbye to Paper and Hello to Electronic Signatures and Digital Forms Many businesses have gone fully digital. Federal agencies, not so much. But new legislation will help you fill the digital void–and avoid turning off tech-savvy citizens.
