Why Don't New Books Come Out in Paperback
This has been bugging me for a long time. Especially whenever summer or traveling comes around.
The hardcover book is a nice accessory but should be optional upon a book's release. Does anyone really enjoy the extra effort of having to support the weight of a hard cover and not being able to bend back pages at your ease? Hardcovers are rigid and make reading less enjoyable.
Heading into summer, I cannot think of anybody that would prefer to carry a hardcover out with them to the beach in comparison to a light weight soft cover book. This is even more so during traveling. Noone wants a heavy carry on bag.
I prefer reading the most up to date non-fiction books yet am held back by this dilemma. I am looking into reading Buying In or OBD:Obsessive Branding Disorder but with traveling soon, I'll have to put these off for a little.
Damn Hardcovers

Is Google Making Us Stupid?
Is Google Making Us Stupid?
Pretty good article on how the ways in which we receive information changes the way we think. I wrote a letter to the editor about the article which is below.
Hi Atlantic,
Nicholas Carr's article on how the internet and its tools such as Google are changing the way we think and can think hits right at home with my own dilemma in finding it increasingly hard to read long in depth books. The article discusses how other advances in media technology such as the printing press or the ability to write has changed the processes in which we think. The internet's rapid firing of information, news, and stories does change the way we attune to these sources. Two major impacts are fallouts from this information overload which the article does not cover.
The ability of having the world's information at our fingertips allows us to discover new ways of thinking and learning then was not possible two decades ago. The proliferation of blogs has given voice to many writers that not long ago would have never had a medium to share there ideas. Devoted blog readers would never had come in contact with these new information sources and would never had the opportunity to gain such knowledge. This is not a far fetched example. Think about how many times daily, weekly, monthly you come across a news article or web site that opened your mind to new ideas. In the 1980's there would be new happenstance to come across these pieces of literature. A person's information outlets were limited to their geographic locations.
Secondly, the internet allows us to learn different ways of thinking. Only having select media choices in the past, whether it be newspapers, journals, TV, etc., we knew exactly what our options were to find information. Today with the ability to search through terabytes of information only a Google away, we must come to form a new knowledge. This new knowledge is the ability to search through the masses and figure out ways on how to find the information we truly desire. Search technology is not yet able to understand exactly what we want. Endless hyperlink clicks coupled with constant tweaks of search queries is sometimes the tireless routine we endure to find what we want. Students and researchers in today's society are already overcoming this, relying on how to efficiently search online if they wish to produce results. This new education of how to search and find information via an overloaded medium, will change our thoughts and ideas differently than before. The old way of searching was reading through books, essays, and journals. The new way of searching is reviewing the links and highlighted passages which are returned to us. The neurological implications of this change about how are brain connections will differ lays the groundwork for lots of interesting research papers to come.

Britons too busy to peel oranges | Oddly Enough | Reuters
Britons too busy to peel oranges | Oddly Enough | Reuters
I completely agree!! The effort put into an orange is not worth the reward. To eat an orange requires using a knife or getting orange rind in your fingernails. Both strategies are much less appealing compared to the orange's easier to eat cousins such as the apple, pear, and banana. Each of these fruits only require the quick wash and subsequent napkin or the quick peel.
What society truly needs is for the orange to evolve/change at an incredibly fast rate. The new orange would be as easily edible as an apple (or banana) but still have all the great qualities of an orange. The people who brought us seedless watermelons, this is your new mission. Go out there make something of yourselves!
