I like books

Ipad. Kindle. E-readers. People say this is the new trend. Newspapers aren't selling. Magazines are in decline. Technology has moved beyond the printing press.

And yet...

And yet, I am behind. I don't read news papers. I don't read magazines. But I still prefer one form of print media.

Books.

There is nothing like a book. Yes, Kindles are cool. They are instant access to the information you seek in that book. No waiting.

And yet...

And yet, there is no anticipation.

And yet, there is no intrigue of walking through a book store hoping to find a gem.

And yet, there is nothing like the smell of a brand new book.

And yet, there is nothing like the feeling of a page turning through your fingers.

Now, I'll admit it. I'm a dinosaur (even at the age of 25). I understand that I don't like change, and try to search myself to discover if I don't like a thing or if I don't like change.

In this case, I think it's the thing.

Books don't run low on batteries. Books don't require a bigger hard drive. Books don't need wi-fi access. I guess the sensation, the experience, means more to me than the instant access of information.
