I understand the nostalgia of having paper to feel and smell when you read it, but I would rather have fond memories of newspapers that have become obsolete than fond memories of beautiful forests that have become obsolete Picture Quote #1

I’m gradually managing to cram my mind more and more full of things. I’ve got this beautiful mind and it’s going to die, and it’ll all be gone. And then I say, not in my case. Every idea I’ve ever had I’ve written down, and it’s all there on paper. And I won’t be gone; it’ll be there Picture Quote #1

I’d love to claim that what I have done in my life is of my doing, but it’s not of my doing at all.

We’re in an inflection point where it’s cheaper to learn to read on a tablet computer than it is to learn to read on paper.

Next time you open the paper, and you see an intellectual property decision, a telecoms decision, it’s not about something small and technical.
