too old to tube, you

[spacellama]

I've been hip to the changes of technology, for the most part. I was surfing in '93, HTMLing in '97, chatting in '00. I've ridden waves of cell, mobile, Walkman, Discman, CD, DVD, DVR, and iPod in turn. But finally there's something that I just don't have any desire to adopt: the mass shoving of videos in my general direction. I don't want my news

Guess that means I'm an old fogey as well, because I completely share you sentiments. Down with streaming video! Text is king!

Just want to say, thank you. I pretty much feel the same. Good that I'm not alone.

I agree with you more or less. Which may seem odd given how much you tube I post. But my YT links are to things that can't be done in text. Like music or clips from movies. Certainly news lends itself more to facts that can be communicated through writing.

Sometimes I think people are just lazy, or possibly too busy. You can listen to something while you do other things but reading requires all your attention. (Whether you actually hear when multitasking is a whole other thing.)
