A Life Without Paper

I recently switched over to blogging on blogspot instead of talking to myself through moleskines for two simple reasons: I am lazy and the chance of me losing this data over my moleskines in say...a flood that happened 3 or 4 weeks ago is much lower.

But then I read this article about college libraries. Can you imagine a life without flipping through the pages of Harry Potter? Cringing as Harry and Ginny kiss, tense when Dobby gets knifed. After thinking about it, I imagine that many people can. Kids these days have cellphones, ipods, laptops, internet, all at the tips of their fingers. When I was in ninth grade, I had just gotten a laptop. I didn't have a cellphone. My sister didn't get a laptop until college. My dad? After my sister got hers.

So this post is to remember the feeling of turning pages in hopes that there will not be a day when a turn of the page is just a click away.

So maybe one day I will tell my grandkids: "Back when I was a young lad..." I wasted trees on paper? I had access to paper? Where does the environmentalist in me go? Confused and lost I guess
