[Comment]

A hypocritical newspaper reader? I'm sitting at the airport. Reading one of those hotel-provided newspapers. It feels weird, it feels so old-styled. What a waste of resources. Why would everyone still read those newspapers ... Every Sunday morning I enjoy my two hours of news and article browsing in my beloved newspaper. I like to 'stumple-upon' interesting articles; those articles I would have never seen in the online version of the newspaper. I like its 'single-tasking' way of consuming information; reading only ... and it somehow smells good.
