A short summary of the justifications for my recent abstinence from off-line enquiry for knowledge / literary pleasure: The satisfactory sensation one used to get from turning the pages of a paperback book has long been lost, thanks to the new generation of technology involving much more interactive features - i.e., finger-sliding and -tapping motions on the touch-sensitive screens of digital devices. The recent development in motion picture technology made it possible to literally visualize anything. It has become a more compact and accessible form of information dissemination than a plain text. Also, I would rather watch a 90-minute film with popcorn and cola (or beers for men) than read a book for 180 minutes with an epic concentration.
