Where does everybody get their news from these days? Ask anybody most would just say Facebook. It's so convenient. Thanks to all the pages I follow and friends I have, I'm pretty up to date on most world news.

My last blog post I promised I would try getting just newspapers for my news. I must say I've become so used to the expediency that is provided by our smart phones and social media.I never realized how impatient I can be. Reading newspapers is definitely not my favorite thing to do. It's a dying profession. And trying to find quarters everyday for it to catch every morning takes a toll on my laundry money but at least I helped out the paper guy on the corner make some. I felt slow. And to be honest the only thing that really caught my attention was big headline news or "front page" stuff. Sports and weather; sorry but I never got that far. If I really wanna put that effort to not use my phone as much then yeah it would be something I can get used to, but it's the lack of expediency that gets to me. I am not a patient person. I want my news now. I think that is also an effect of what smart phones and internet have done to us. Seriously, who even reads real magazines anymore when everything you want to know about a celebrity or entertainment, you can easily google.
