Our local library just expanded, which I think is awesome. Some things just don't transfer well into the digital age. Personally, I thought the very idea of ebooks was silly but I also understand people's urge for convenience because those are the times we live in.



We may be losing physical media but it looks like libraries are here to stay  :thumbup:

Anything else that survived the digital age?

Vinyl records seem to be making a comeback against the tide of downloadable media.
Hail to thyself
For I am my own master
I am my own god
I require no shepherd
For I am no sheep.

I collect books. Books will never go out of style for me.
Even the way they smell.

Yeah, right? It makes me want to grab a stack of books and get comfy for hours.

They simply refuse to die, which is pretty cool.

I doubt cash will ever go out of style but I know quite a few people who only pay with cards. They don't even want to touch real money anymore.

Radio. I have an old 1960's AM/FM radio that works! I listen to WZUU out of Kalamazoo. They play lotsa hard rock. Even some old school punk!
