“For my grandchildren, the idea that reading is something you do by yourself will seem arcane,” he says. “Why would you want to read by yourself if you can have access to the ideas of others you know and trust, or to the insights of people from all over the world?”
Though what's authored in a book might not be from anyone we know and trust (in itself not a "bad" thing) it's quite likely still a body of (possibly collective) insight already—perhaps even from someone(s) in less-local parts of the world.
Maybe I missed the point, but it felt like the quote was missing that a book is already a view into others' ideas and insights.
That said, even if printed books are to fall out of favor with the majority of literate people, it could still be a good idea to maintain physical libraries of works that many would find essential in the (perhaps unlikely) case that digital records fail or become inconvenient to access.
(My mistake on using adopt when it was probably better to say "use".)
What mindset was there to begin with prior to the shift to Twitter, et.al?
Also, please, will you elaborate on the shift?
"Stop struggling to find products and let Rockerbox give you hand."
You're missing an "a" between "you" and "hand."
If that's the case, could it be possible to circumvent that through spoofing of the number and subsequent reception of the SMS message?
If I have no need or desire to do either of those things, I'll prepare for my future career by reading books and articles that relate to it.
This arose out of the boredom that I was experiencing when I first found myself making such a long commute. I seem to be at my most productive, outside of my day job, during these times. I ride public transit, so my morning commute is very quiet and typically free from distraction; it's nice.
I also make heavy use of solid color layers; the color layer is a layer composed of two things--the layer of color (which extends into, conceptually, infinity) and a mask which helps in managing of the area through which the color shows. The great thing about this is that you can change the color of the layer at any time, over and over. You can do something similar with layer styles, where you choose a color overlay for the layer, as well.
"Programming, as a whole, is far larger than any one person could come to comprehend in a single lifetime (...) And to make matters worse, it is continually growing more complex at a rate no person could follow either!"
Isn't programming, essentially, the writing of instructions and providing them to systems that act upon them? Reading through that statement I wonder whether it's not programming that is complex, but many problems that exist in various fields of business or study—problems that need a programmed solution.
Please—if you don't mind—would you elaborate?
