dead words on dead wood cc-by lemasney<\/p><\/div>\n

Here’s an illustration of the idea that messages printed on paper, books and magazines are “dead words on dead wood”, and while a great many books of mine are beloved despite this, I have tried desperately to remove unnecessarily printed paper from my life. When something is printed, a snapshot of a living updating document, it’s kind of a waste, and we don’t need to do it anymore. I think the outdated-ness of a printed document (not a book, but an agenda) offends me most. It makes it a lot easier to use something like Google Drive to find, edit, collaborate on and share documents that are always up to date, backed up, and available. Please don’t read this idea as anything like a dislike for books, librarian friends, but rather a dislike for wasted paper on lesser messages. <3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
