Re: Wednesday Open Thread (none / 1)

I still have to print out long articles to read. I have no problem concentrating when reading print.

I can read long articles in PDF on screen - I'll use the slideshow setting in Preview (on mac) to display them full-screen with no distractions.

Reading long articles in web browsers is harder.

Reading print is also still much better than reading online (all else equal). Computer monitors are still at about 1/3rd the resolution they would need.

plus I'm always scared I'll drop the computer in the bath while i'm reading.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
