Vikram Kumar, the CTO of Pixily, recently took a couple of days off and went to the Cape with his wife and two four year olds. Vik is a new buff, always reading news articles and commenting on happening all over the world. But he realized a funny thing on this vacation when he went to buy a newspaper out of a vending machine with his kids on this trip - he never reads physical newspapers anymore. His kids had never seen a real-life newspaper and were totally enthralled by the “big book.” They loved the fact that dad disappeared behind it when he read it over his morning coffee. In fact, they kept requesting over and over that they go buy another one to play with!
How funny is it that someone who reads more news articles than anyone I know never actually reads paper? Newspapers were definitely part of my childhood, but I guess that’s not true for kids anymore!
