Tim Porter passes along Tom Rouillard's "Top 10 Reasons for Still Reading a Newspaper."
A few selections:
3. I can read my newspaper while standing, while eating, while riding a bus.
4. I can give my newspaper to someone else when I am done.
9. If I drop my newspaper, it doesn't break. My addendum: I can also throw my newspaper across the room when the editor angers me and it doesn't break.
You have others?

I can spill my coffee or tea on my newspaper, or drop jellied toast-crumbs on my newspaper every single morning and it's no big deal because I can still read it and I'll get a new "clean" one tomorrow anyway. ;)

I can use the newspaper to housbreak a new puppy, or line the bottom of a bird cage, or use it to swat fly's and skeeters and other pesky critters, including grandkids. Nice thing about it is there is an endless supply as long as I pay the subscription price.

My neighbor reads the paper while he walks his dog.

It's still easier to read a newspaper than a laptop while you're driving.
