Prefer to read ‘good old-fashioned way’
Monday, March 29, 2010
Although I use the Internet for many functions -- too numerous to mention -- reading magazines is not one. In fact, because I use the Internet and the computer for many hours a day each and every day of the week, I choose to read books, magazines and newspapers the good old-fashioned way. In fact, for reasons that could probably be the focus of a PhD thesis or two, there is something important about having the physical reading material in one’s hand. The Alumni Gazette has a place of honour in a magazine stand in my living room, where I refer to it many times over the course of several months.
Unfortunately, I will not persevere with the e-version. If there are others like me, and I suspect there are, there is a chunk of the demographic that will not be exposed to the messaging and content that you so carefully present.
