From Digital to Physical

  By Catherine Ratliff 6/11/2015 The world has changed! We are now doing everything online. Yes, it is very high tech. I have no complaints. Today's brief comment is just a reflection from myself and my feelings about something as simple as reading a book. No, I'm not knocking reading. I am merely recognizing that the way we read now has certainly changed.            I am a true supporter of digital reading, via Kindle, Nook, etc. However, I fear that the physical nature of picking up an actual hard or soft copy might be a faint memory in the not so distant future. Now, do I know this as factual? No! But, I just was taken back when I drove to the local Borders in the neighborhood and it was not there anymore. Okay, perhaps I am just exaggerating the true factors of why it was gone.       It can be a convenient to just open your handheld device and start reading and then closing it back up and sticking it back into your purse...
