      Reading a favorite Berenstain Bears book with Lillian (5) she pointed at Papa Bear and asked: “What’s that?” “Papa Bear.” “No what is the paper he is holding.” “His newspaper.” “What is a newspaper?” And I realized: she’s never seen one, in five years.

      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.)

          Well, it if helps - my brother and I often read your HN musings and tweets to my nephew and niece (his son and daughter) - they both know who Patio11 is.

          Literally none, which weirds me out. You can get the usuals suspects in Japan but after doing it for years found that I enjoyed the work product a lot less than reading casually online.

          That anecdote suddenly reminds me of how I started reading the newspaper: in 2nd or 3rd grade, I always read the daily comics in part 2, and I noticed the editorial cartoons in part 1; I didn't understand them, so I began reading the news to understand what the joke was...
