I grew up with public libraries, books, radio, music on vinyl and news and weekly shows on broadcast TV. Broadcast TV is dead, music is much less expensive and radio and books live on. It is getting harder to extract special interest information from the web. LISTSERV's like WLREHAB have gone silent and online art communities seem to be both shrinking and building higher walls. Maybe I should read more books. They're not getting shorter and there's no comment feature or interactivity with the author. There is only the next book.

Yes, this. I don't know when things were at their best but it was over twenty years ago.
