But a lot of the articles you can read on the net are very
long and detailed.

A magazine is more tangible. You can actually sniff the
pages.

There are still some books that aren't covered as well on
the internet- like 'a new kind of science' and 'the selfish
gene'.

Television is absolute trash. That'd be cool if everyone
agreed to set aside 1/4 of their computer for a huge
internet experiment or something where an 'internet
programming language' was made that treated all these
donated connected computer sections as neurons n shit like
that n shit.

i barely ever watch telly now, except the news occasionally.
if theres anything half-decent on, i will download it / buy
it on DVD.

I still read books, I've just finished Pascal Bussy's one
about Kraftwerk. (It's a bit dry and matter-of-fact, but
interesting anyway.) I just don't see the point in watching
and reading really generalised, lowest common denominator
stuff like soaps and tabloids.

I still like TV because it's the only format in which you
can be even lazier/more passive than the Internet. Reading
news on the Internet, for example, involved pointing and
clicking (and sitting upright).

I think it's youtube that killed TV for me. Even if the
quality sucks, I don't really care if I'm watching a comedy
sketch or something.

it's hard to concentrate even for 10 minutes nowadays. it's
all so fucking tragic. so god damn fucking tragic.

I still love to read and concentrate on one thing for hours.
I read Simon Reynold's Rip it Up and Start Again in a couple of
weekends.
