And aside from the meditation on the implications for media/etc, I am reflecting that the newspaper was central to my relationship with Dad. He read the WSJ with me every weekend, before I even knew how to read along. But I don’t read tweets/HN/news/etc to Lillian. Hmm...

“Central?” Maybe not the right word, but there were five of us, but he loved the routine of reading the WSJ and I was the only one who would happily read along and say “What’s an interest rate?”

“Why did your father read the WSJ?” He was a small businessman in real estate and partly wanted to be informed about e.g. which banks were expanding branch networks. Also it was sort of a talisman. (I used it as same for years.)

No Starbucks visits with L?

Lots of Starbucks visits, but I’ve never seen a newspaper at any of our local ones. Is that a thing?

The opposite happens with my kid (3). Her kid books always show a classic telephone
so she knows that’s what a “phone” looks like. But she has no idea how it’s used or what for. You use one of these
to talk to people who are far away, not a “phone”.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I would *almost* bet my life that it’s “Berenstein” - read many of them as a child. “Mandela effect”.
