EEH Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) Saw this guy eating breakfast and actually reading a news paper. Haven’t seen this in Years. Don’t know him but he was into his paper. No phone. Edited September 25, 2022 by EEH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X5SigChris Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Reminds me of my dad. He would read the paper every day with breakfast. Then in the weekend it would be the same but also clip the coupons with the race on. Now I want to plan a trip just to have a breakfast with him.

mule169 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Eventually you seeing people with reading a physical book will be rare too when you can listen to audios and read on your iPad/tablet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re not wrong there. A iPad can never replace a nice book though on the shelf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for a library, just go to the tech lounge and grab a tablet and have access to 100,000+ titles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I said same thing about carbon paper score sheets, and hard copy paper rule books.. Still would want a paper rule book, as phones are too small for me to search.. But I do enjoy my Kindle Fire reader. Iam a merchant mariner and like to read. Kindle works well. Can do basic internet stuff, message a little, surf a bit... I cant type on it well as I dont get along with touchpads, but can work in a pinch... Plus,,, with a good library card I can get books anywhere I can get a signal. Or can buy and load up months worth of books. I used to do the leave a book take a book thing at my local library and at a center on base when I was Army. Go around the boats gather all the books most folks have read, swap em out. Linrary checkout was too short a time for me, so was glad they had the big leave one take one section... Bad part of that though was my mother evidently dated Oliver North when younger, he gave her an autographed copy of his book.. And she gave it to me,,, I didnt know it was autographed, and it went into the leave a book system,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At work, I begged for a tablet to have all the manuals I need I’m on hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
