an interesting phenomenon

After my last sip of morning coffee, the shut-off alarm beeped on the coffee maker, right at the time I began to read a NYT article titled: The 'New' Pleasures of Photo Printing.  It was as if the beeping had added an exclamation point.

The gist of the article was that few people today rely on viewing their photos as a print.  Where once it was synonymous - a photo was a print.  Now, the majority of the public view their own images on a screen.  The article must have been written by someone over forty, for the writer now was singing the "pleasures of photo printing".

All of this is sadly funny, because most of my friends, including my own peer group, would prefer that I email them the "link" to my recent photography exhibit, rather than just stand up - and personally view the 41 large exhibition prints there on display.
