That said, I have to keep my gaming library in pdf, because... uh, it's currently 32 GB worth of compressed PDF, I cringe to think what that would look like in hard copy form!

I can fit 1,600 books on the kindle. 1,600 books would take up a whole room in my apartment.

I love books. I am a retired professor of history and philosophy and my husband is an historian. We have books to the rafters in our home. I really worry about losing much of our history by relying on technology - it changes and becomes obsolete. Books, diaries and letters can last for centuries; not so for text messages, emails and kindles.

The cat in today’s picture tells the whole story. We get used to doing things a certain way and we dare not venture out beyond the comfortable. Here the cat has a wide open door yet he still insists upon using the cat door. It’s all he is used to and so he uses it again despite the fact the door is open. If we take a close look, I would imagine we could probably see many old habits we are still holding on to despite the fact we are now free to do whatever we desire with our lives. There is much comfort in doing things the old way, but do we evolve forward if we remain locked into the familiar? No. We may feel safe in this familiar world, but if we are not taking risks, experiencing the unknown, or allowing ourselves to see our world through different eyes, we are not expanding our consciousness. Remaining safe is not living your life fully.

I've been indoctrinated by former tech savvy employers. AT&T, Bell Labs promised a "ubiquitous" network in the 80's. Were they working with our NSA decades ago?
