Very Depressing

I read two depressing little articles in the current Newsweek last night. One dealt with the fact that because of the ever cost-conscious attitude of the newspapers and their parent companies, comic strips are in danger of going the way of the dodo.

The other was a story on a recent study that showed people are reading fiction less. It's bad enough that the research shows that fiction reading is down 10 percent from where it was in 1982, but it also suggests that the people who aren't reading anymore are becoming passive electronic entertainment consumers - disconnected from society.

I'm 31-years old and I feel like a dinosaur.
